When the RAW image came up in Photoshop, it was so dark you could barely make out an image. RAW save the day: I Think I Love You! on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Keep snapping and you'll find your answers.

Love that pic. .. I think i know what u mean about spending hours adjusting them. I clicked this pic yday and then had absolutely no idea on how to go about processing it. still dont ..

i guess i'll "find the answers" as i snap more.

Thankfully, we have the RAW + JPEG option nowadays, so if i pic has come out decently or i dont want to adjust too much, i always have the lazy option of using the JPEG

Thanks for your comments.. and again, that pic on flickr is gorgeous..
