Shot my first batch of RAW images a week ago on a trip to Pittsburgh occasioned by a death in the family. With Paul Sorenson's help I've gotten them out of the camera and onto the computer using a LR import preset he had recommended. I'm a bit disappointed in what I see. Almost nothing is really sharp. Much is not sharp at all. It seems to be my biggest challenge at the moment.
That said, I understand RAW allows more leeway for making post-capture corrections. There are some images I like that are a little to a lot underexposed. There is one whole group, in which I'm especially interested, that were shot at ISO 3200. I have absolutely no idea where to start. There are so many things that can be changed, I have no idea what the names of most of them mean -- hue? saturation? luminance? A video that Paul recommended to me -- it was about the preset he uses -- suggests that there are a few especially critical parameters that might improve these images significantly, and provide me a place to start learning. I'm open to suggestions about things to try.
