Examples

1. Quick Client Previews from Sony RAWs

Freelance Photographer
Background
A photographer shot a portrait session using an older Sony camera that outputs SRF RAW files. The client needs quick, lightweight previews to select the final shots.
Problem
The raw SRF files are too large to email and cannot be opened by the client's standard image viewer.
How to Use
Upload the SRF file, set the JPEG quality to 80, and set the output width to 1920 pixels for a fast, web-friendly export.
Example Config
Quality: 80, Width: 1920
Outcome
A lightweight, high-quality JPEG image that is easily shareable via email and viewable on any device.

2. Recovering Highlights in Outdoor Shots

Landscape Photography Enthusiast

How to Use
Upload the SRF file, set the Highlight Recovery slider to 5, increase Saturation to 1.2, and set Brightness to 0.95 to balance the exposure.
Example Config
Highlight Recovery: 5, Saturation: 1.2, Brightness: 0.95
Outcome
