1. Preparing RAW Landscape Photos for Web Portfolios

Landscape Photographer

Background

A photographer has a series of high-contrast CR3 RAW files shot on a Canon EOS R series camera that need to be uploaded to a web portfolio.

Problem

The CR3 files are too large and incompatible with web browsers, and some sky highlights are slightly overexposed.

How to use

Upload the CR3 file, set the Highlight Recovery to 5, adjust Brightness to 1.1, set the PNG Compression Level to 9 for the smallest file size, and convert.

Compression Level: 9, Brightness: 1.1, Highlight Recovery: 5

Outcome

A web-ready, lossless PNG image with recovered sky details and optimized file size.
