Pushing the envelope...

...to test editing a RAW image. Looks like LightZone got little lost with the RAW produced by Panasonic Lumix TZ60.

Well, at least I discovered something new, and something I already suspected. First of all, when correcting white balance, and trying to restore some tones into very dark areas, it turned out a mission impossible in as extreme case as this. Then I got confirmation for the fact that the camera software does a lot of image correcting to produce nice and fine JPEG images. I already previously was puzzled how there was somewhat zero barrel distortion on wide angle JPEG shots. Turned out my guess was correct. The camera software corrects the distortions. Moreover, I discovered the lens then actually has even wider angle, where from the 24mm equivalent image then becomes produced.

At least this was an interesting experiment. But after wasting way too much time on trying to get something decent out of the RAW image, I decided to keep my amateur ways, and continue shooting JPEG only. EDIT: Or maybe I still need to test the editing software that came along with the camera...
