Examples

1. Quick Client Preview Generation

Freelance Photographer

Background

A photographer just finished a portrait shoot using a Sony Alpha camera and needs to send quick, lightweight previews to a client.

Problem

The raw ARW files are too large (around 40MB each) and cannot be viewed by the client without specialized software.

How to use

Upload the ARW file, set the JPEG quality to 80, and set the output width to 1920 pixels to keep the file size small.

Quality: 80, Width: 1920

Outcome

A lightweight, web-ready JPEG image that is easy to email and view on any device.

2. Recovering Highlights in a Landscape Photo

Travel Blogger

Background

A blogger took a landscape photo with bright skies, resulting in slightly overexposed highlights in the clouds.

Problem

The sky details are washed out, and the colors look slightly muted in the raw preview.

How to use

Upload the ARW file, set Highlight Recovery to 5, increase Saturation to 1.2, and set Brightness to 0.95 to balance the exposure.
