Examples

1. Optimizing Lumix Landscape Photos for Web

Landscape Photographer
Background
A photographer took several high-resolution landscape shots on a Panasonic Lumix camera but needs to upload them to a blog quickly.
Problem
The RW2 files are too large for web upload and look slightly underexposed in their raw state.
How to Use
Upload the RW2 file, set the JPEG quality to 90, increase brightness to 1.2, and set highlight recovery to 3 to bring back sky details.
Example Config
Quality: 90, Brightness: 1.2, Highlight Recovery: 3
Outcome
A vibrant, web-ready JPEG with balanced exposure and recovered cloud details.

2. Resizing RAW Portrait for Social Media

Social Media Manager
Background
A social media manager received a raw RW2 portrait from a photographer and needs to post it on Instagram immediately.
Problem

How to Use
Upload the RW2 file, set the output width to 1080 pixels, set saturation to 1.1 for more vivid colors, and keep quality at 85.
Example Config
Width: 1080, Saturation: 1.1, Quality: 85
