RAWprotsessingssüsteemid refers to systems used for processing RAW image files from digital cameras. RAW files contain the minimally processed data directly from the image sensor, offering a wider dynamic range and more color information compared to compressed formats like JPEG. This unprocessed data requires specialized software to be converted into a viewable image format.

The primary function of a RAW processing system is to demosaic the image data, which involves interpolating the color information from the Bayer or similar sensor filter arrays. Following demosaicing, various adjustments can be made, including white balance correction, exposure adjustment, contrast enhancement, color saturation, sharpening, and noise reduction. These adjustments are non-destructive, meaning the original RAW data remains untouched, allowing for extensive editing without loss of quality.

Common RAW processing software includes Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop (with Camera Raw), Capture One, DxO PhotoLab, and open-source alternatives like darktable and RawTherapee. Each system offers a unique set of tools and workflows, catering to different user preferences and professional needs. The choice of a RAW processing system often depends on factors such as budget, desired features, and operating system compatibility. The goal is to extract the maximum potential from the captured image data.
