GuidesGraycard for Mac

Camera photos, plainly answered.

Why camera photos look the way they do, what to do with a folder of them, and how to export them for wherever they go. Each guide names the free tools first and says when its sources were checked.

  1. 01Why camera photos look flatter than your phone'sPhones merge frames and add contrast, brightness, and color to every shot. Cameras render one frame, often in a subdued style, and a RAW file is not finished at all.
  2. 02Your photographer sent every photo. Now what?A drive or a download link with every photo from the day, some of them RAW: how to keep them safe, open them, choose the keepers, finish them, and share them.
  3. 03Export settings for sharing photosWhich size and color profile to export for Instagram, messages, email, and print, and why sRGB with an embedded profile is the safe default.
  4. 04Convert RAW to JPEG on Mac, in bulkThree ways to turn a folder of RAW files into JPEGs on a Mac: Preview, Apple Photos, and Graycard, and what each one does with your library, color, and size.
