Digital Camera launched in 2002 and is the world’s leading digital photography magazine. It has been helping photographers of all skill levels to improve their images ever since.
Every issue is packed with technique tips, tutorials, inspiring images and expert buying advice, plus the latest news and equipment reviews, as well as a selection of free gifts (see below).
Wouldn’t it be great if you could streamline your editing journey into a super-efficient maximum of 10 steps, freeing up time away from the computer so you can take more photographs?
That’s the objective of this month’s feature – learn how to master raw processing in Adobe Camera Raw.
Don’t forget that you can subscribe to Digital Camera magazine and get the magazine delivered to your door every month. Choose between a print or digital subscription, or a bundle of the two.
We reckon that this month’s collection of creative projects in Photo Active could produce plenty of source material to practise your new raw editing skills on.
Learn how to use off-camera flash on an outdoor fashion shoot, how adding texture effects can transform self-portraits, discover how a multi-award winning wedding shooter makes his work stand out, and how to shoot product shots against digital backdrops.
