RAW Processing and Structure

This document provides an overview of non-destructive editing tools in Hasselblad Phocus, including setting up capture folders and jobs, reviewing histograms to check exposure, and using essential editing tools like curves to adjust tone and contrast. Curves are described as one of the most powerful tools, allowing control over highlight, shadow, and midtone points to mimic film characteristics or correct color. Both S-curves and inverted S-curves are presented as methods for increasing or lowering contrast.
