From RAW to JPEG
Post-processing is indispensable for transforming raw pixels into
captivating, impactful photographs, enriching their storytelling and aesthetic allure.
Tools like
darktable (open-source) or
Lightroom
(commercial)
facilitate adjustments in
brightness,
contrast, and

enhances visual appeal, corrects imperfections, and enables creative expression while optimizing photos for various outputs such as prints or social media.
Post-processing isn't a dark art for pro artists or geeks; it's a vital requirement for every image, regardless of its subject or content.
