WorkflowStep1SettinguptheDSLR

Yep thats right; the workflow starts with your DSLR. Setting up your DSLR
correctlycansaveyoualotofstressinthefieldandwillallowyoutoconcentrate
onyourphotographyandnailingthosegreatshots.RememberalthoughRSPcan
work wonders in resurrecting poorly exposed images it cannot correct for bad
composition or out of focus images, they are your responsibility. Here is my
simpleguidetosettingupyourDSLR:

1. White Balance Simply set this to AUTO and forget about it as RSPs

WorkflowStep2GettingyourRAWimagesontothePC

IfyoualreadyhaveyourimagesonthePCthenyoucanskipthisstep.Fortherest
ofyou,simplyconnectyourportabledownloaderormediacardreadertothePC
and start the RSP Downloader which is located on the main toolbar as shown
below:

RawShooter | premium 2006 Raw Workflow Guide v1.0.1 2

This will show the follow dialog:

Thedownloaderissimpletouse:

Specify the location of your files. If you have multiple directories then
choose the top most one and RSP will automatically find all those
underneathit.
SpecifythedirectorynameonyourPCthatyouwanttocopy/movethe
imagesto.
Forget renaming images at this stage as youll end up deleting a lot
anyway; it makes more sense to rename them after you have chosen the
best.
Unless you need it, ensure the Keep original folder structure option

WorkflowStep3Editingyourwork

Everyone needs to edit their work because all photographers, no matter what
theirlevelofability,takeimagesthatarebetterthanothers.Betoughandthrow
awaytherubbish,dontkeepanythingthatyoudidnotintendtobeoutoffocus
and learn from your
mistakes. The starting
point for any editing is
usually one of the 5
Display Modes that RSP
provides. Shown here is
display mode 2 (Shortcut
ALT+2),whichshowsall
the RAW thumbnails in
the currently selected
directory.Acrossthetops
are the group tabs, for
images that has been
given a priority or those

Reducing image noise to check the noise in an image zoom to 100%
(Shortcut CTRL + TAB) and select a border between the subject and the
background. To reduce the effect of noise apply a little noise / colour

adding too much suppression will have a negative effect on the subject
