What is RAW Development? Editing

If described in terms of film, the concept of a RAW image is a shot
image not yet developed (latent image).

With film, the image appears for the first time when it is developed. And
as for RAW images too, you cannot view it as an image on your Reference
computer unless you perform subsequent image signal processing.
Therefore, even though it is digital, this processing is called
“development” and with EOS DIGITAL is performed using DPP. RAW image data

The [RGB] tool palette functions are the same as ordinary image editing
software, such as tone curve adjustment that is explained here, with
which you can adjust RAW images.
However, because the adjustment width of the functions in the [RGB]

Using the tool palette

We recommend that as a general principle you edit RAW images using Index
the [RAW] tool palette. However, where the adjustment width with the
[RAW] tool palette is not wide enough and you wish to use the special
functions in the [RGB] tool palette, we recommend that you adjust your
images at the necessary lowest limit with the [RGB] tool palette after
having completed basic adjustment with the [RAW] tool palette.
Use the adjustment function of the [NR/Lens/ALO] tool palette (p.110)
when applying the Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.57), reducing noise (p.58)
or correcting aberration (p.59) after you have made any required
adjustments with the [RAW] and [RGB] tool palettes.
