Examples

1. Converting Sony SRF for Web Portfolio

Professional Photographer

Background

A photographer shot a gallery using an older Sony camera that outputs SRF RAW files. They need to upload these images to their online portfolio, which only accepts standard web formats like PNG.

Problem

The raw SRF files are too large, unsupported by browsers, and slightly underexposed.

How to use

Upload the SRF file, set the brightness to 1.2 to fix the underexposure, set the output width to 1920 pixels for web optimization, and set the PNG compression level to 6.

File: photo.srf, Brightness: 1.2, Width: 1920, Compression Level: 6

Outcome

A web-ready, optimized PNG image with corrected brightness and a maximum width of 1920 pixels.

2. Recovering Blown-out Highlights in RAW Landscape Photo

Hobbyist Landscape Photographer

Background

A hobbyist captured a sunset landscape in SRF format, but the sky highlights are slightly blown out and the colors look muted.

Problem

The sky details are lost in the bright areas, and the overall image lacks color saturation.
