Figure three: Automatically decode raw files

Fast quality effect--tonal mapping

Good photos make the raw format easier to handle, with a little bit of light that can produce qualitative changes to the exposure, saturation, brightness, and contrast of photos. One of the rich color features can make the color of the dark screen immediately become bright bright, high contrast function can let the contrast of light and shade is not enough to contrast strong, so as to quickly improve the visual effects of photos, mapping a more perfect image.

Figure Five: The raw format of the original photo and the application of tonal mapping after the photo contrast effect, comparison can be seen the original photo color and light and dark details are lost, using tonal mapping technology processing, back to the original image color, light and dark details become clear, improve the quality of the picture at the same time, let the photos show the most authentic scenery of nature!

Flexible partition editing--color scale adjustment

Figure VI: The effect of raw format photo before and after processing, after comparison can be clearly seen before the photo changes due to the backlight, so that the main animal appears gloomy, through a good picture of the color adjustment function, the dark part of the screen to lighten the processing, restore the normal brightness of the region image, restore clear animal image, so that the picture no longer shadow.

Common underlying changes-basic adjustments

Figure Seven: Raw format photos of the basic adjustment before and after the contrast effect, compared to see the screen to enhance the contrast and color saturation, for the photo effect added a bright tone.

Simple and easy to start: Good photo interface simple and generous, only a few steps can quickly complete RAW format photos processing, greatly shorten the raw file post-processing time.

Hue Mapping: The software has a domestic initiative based on the local tone mapping technology of RAW file format conversion technology, the most original photos, the most authentic, the most pure image data processing, more accurate analysis of image color and light, fine to each pixel details, rendering the ultimate quality of digital images.

Large image processing: Software support large image processing, processing performance, parameter adjustment real-time processing, easy to edit tens pixel images, quickly complete the transformation of creativity and vision.

Multi-platform: In addition, good photos not only have Windows version, recently in the Mac platform also launched a good photo, fruit powder finally has a simple and easy to start the photographic post-processing software!
