2. Open each file in Raw Therapee and convert them to JPEG files.
Keep in mind, this lesson is not to teach you all the ins and outs of Raw Therapee, but to allow you to learn how to convert a RAW file to JPEG if you should decide you would like to shoot RAW photos throughout this course.
About Raw Therapee and Post Production Software
The industry standard for post-production software is usually a product made by Adobe - either Photoshop or Lightroom. Adobe products tend to be very pricey, unless you buy older versions of the software on eBay. However, it's important to try to get some experience using Lightroom (Lr).
Thankfully, Adobe has created a free, online version of Lightroom that anyone can use. Your next assignment will be to try the online version and get slightly familiar with it:
3. Go to the Adobe Lightroom website by clicking here. Then click on "Try On the Web". If you do not wish to create an Adobe ID, you can also sign in near the bottom using Facebook or your Google account (I used my Google account).
4. Now, watch this video to become more familiar with the Adobe Lightroom online version. (his version is older and will look slightly different, but you can gain a better understanding of the basics by watching it)
5. Once you've watched the video, open the photos that you downloaded today from Wesaturate and attempt to edit and convert them from RAW to JPEG format. Don't worry if you don't understand everything. Again, these lessons are just to acquaint you briefly with post-production software.
