Why PureRAW 6 Is the First Step in My Landscape Workflow

Getting More From My RAW Files with PureRAW 6

Over the past few years I have refined my landscape photography workflow in many small ways. But one of the most important things I have done is what I do with my raw files before I start editing.

I have been using PureRAW since version 2. What began as an experiment gradually became part of my normal process. These days most of my landscape images pass through PureRAW before I open them in Lightroom.

A raw file is not yet an image. It is sensor data that still needs to be interpreted. The way that data is processed has a direct impact on fine detail, shadow recovery, noise, and overall flexibility in the edit. For landscape photography, where textures, distant detail, and subtle tonal transitions matter, that starting point is important.

In this video I walk through exactly where PureRAW 6 fits into my workflow and why I continue to use it. This is not a feature by feature breakdown. It is a practical look at how I prepare my raw files and why that first step matters in landscape photography.

If you are interested in getting more from your raw files I hope the video gives you something useful to consider.
