Most DSLR cameras give you the option to take photos in RAW mode. RAW mode records more image data than a typical JPEG. The RAW image data itself remains uncompromised and uncompressed, making it similar to a photo negative that you can print as you like. The Camera RAW Lab in Corel PaintShop Pro acts like a digital darkroom and lets you apply a personal touch to your RAW files.
After processing a RAW image, you can leave it as a read-only RAW file, or export it to a JPEG, GIF, or PNG file so you can edit it. You can also read and save changes to XMP files.
