Color Spaces and RAW

Explore Landscapes #14: When you start to explore the world of digital photography, image editing, and printing, it doesn't take long before you come across the confusing topic of color management.

In this post, I’d like to clarify one aspect of color management - whether or not you need to set a specific color space in your camera settings when shooting in RAW. Spoiler alert - you don’t!

I feel that this clarification is needed as I often hear confusion about this topic while at camera club meetings, in workshops, or during mentoring sessions.

To give myself the broadest possibility of creative options when post-processing an image after a photo shoot, I always shoot in RAW.
