White Balance Read & Write

  1. White Balance plays a crucial role in making a photo more natural to the look and touch. It makes the photo seem more light and less vibrant with eluding more of the natural features of the photo.
  2. White camera balance is a camera setting that establishes the true color of white. It compensates for the color hue of your light source so the colors in your image stay true to reality. White balance can be automatically determined by the camera, chosen from a list of presets, or manually set by the user. By adjusting the white balance setting of your digital camera, you can alter the required light or temperature to produce the most accurate colors in digital image.

File Assignment

 

  • JPEG ~ Stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, it is a smaller file size because of the compressed image detail/quality.
  • HEIF ~ Stands for High Efficiency Image Format, it is smaller than a JPEG but with increased quality.
  • TIFF ~ Stands for Tagged Image File Format, they are usually uncompressed and take up a lot of space, but they are a lot clearer.
  • RAW ~ Stores all info originally captured by the camera, it is similar to TIFFs, but it cannot be displayed on browsers, you’ll need a special processing software.
  • DNG ~ Stands for Digital Negative, it is offered as a main RAW file format or an alternative.
  • PNG ~ Stands for Portable Network Graphics, they are compressed resulting in the loss of detail for viewing and editing, but don’t require much space even for the higher quality ones.
  • GIF ~ Stands for Graphics Interchange Format, they have little image quality but are mainly made for small animations.
  • BMP ~ Stands for Bitmap, they focus on color for each pixel without compression and produce high quality file but not ideal for sharing on the web.
  • PSD ~ Stands for Photoshop, it is mainly used for saved photoshop files and projects and open the app.

HDR Landscape

To achieve HDR you need to have almost bright everything. This establishes a good picture and improves the overall quality of the image. (Here is a list set on how to get HDR)

  1. Set your camera to Aperture mode to keep the depth of field constant.
  2. Set Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) to take more than one shot, each a with different exposure.
  3. Don’t use Auto Focus Control (AFC), you might get different focus points and thus different photos.
  4. Set your camera to Timer mode, if on a tripod to make sure the tripod has stopped shaking.
