Examples

1. Optimizing Legacy Canon Photos for Web Portfolio

Freelance Photographer

Background

A photographer has a collection of old portfolio shots saved in Canon's legacy CRW RAW format that need to be uploaded to a modern portfolio website.

Problem

The CRW files are too large for web display and cannot be read by standard web browsers.

How to use

Upload the CRW file, set the JPEG Quality to 80, set the Output Width to 1200 pixels, and leave the height blank to maintain the aspect ratio.

Quality: 80, Width: 1200

Outcome

A web-ready JPEG image under 500KB that retains original metadata and loads quickly on the portfolio site.

2. Recovering Highlights in an Overexposed Landscape Shot

Hobbyist Photographer

Background

A hobbyist took a landscape photo using an older Canon camera, resulting in a CRW file with slightly blown-out clouds.

Problem

The sky is too bright, and the colors look washed out in the default RAW preview.

How to use

Upload the CRW file, set Highlight Recovery to 5, increase Saturation to 1.2, and set Brightness to 0.9 to balance the exposure.
