  • Adobe Lightroom

    Adobe Lightroom is photo management and RAW processing software that edits images non-destructively and organizes large libraries for photographers.

  • Demosaicing

    Demosaicing is the image processing step that rebuilds full RGB color for every pixel from the single-color samples of a color filter array sensor.

  • Highlight recovery

    Highlight recovery in image processing restores detail in very bright areas of a photo by using unclipped raw data, channel reconstruction and tone compression.

  • Lens correction

    Lens correction in image processing digitally removes distortion, vignetting and lateral chromatic aberration using a model of the lens.

  • Noise reduction

    Noise reduction in image processing removes random grain and color speckles from a photograph while trying to preserve real detail, edges and texture.

  • RAW

    RAW in photography is an image file that stores minimally processed sensor data, leaving demosaicing, white balance and tone rendering to later editing.

  • Sharpening

    Sharpening in image processing increases contrast along edges so that a photograph looks crisper, without adding any detail the camera did not capture.

  • Tone curve

    A tone curve in image processing is a graph that remaps input brightness values to output values, used to adjust contrast, tonal ranges and color.
