What is not made "brain" of our digital camera, we will be able to do this using our computers and relevant software. Thus, a photographer who writes them using the photos in RAW format, it may modify many aspects of photography in which case the image in JPEG format will be set at the time of the photo. The most classic example is the white balance. Photographing in RAW format, in practice, we can not occupy a pain this problem, as we set him later at home.

When taking photographs with a complex lighting set the proper white balance can be very difficult. Then it is best to carry photos in RAW format, without worrying about their colors and color temperature and tint to match with the computer. The range of modifications that can be made from a photograph depends above all on the applications used by us. The simplest of them (usually free tools provided by the manufacturers of photographic) allow adjustment of white balance, exposure, change the image brightness, contrast, color and style to impose a fairly typical set of filters (black and white photography, sepia, etc.). On the other side of this scale are advanced "harvesters", which potentially (and often also the price) slightly lower as the applications from Photoshop. Of course, most of these programs you can appeal the most recent "treatment" and thus work with photos in RAW format is secure and leaves great scope for experimentation.
