If you want to reach out use Twitter, its the place where I am most active. To add a profile picture to your message, register your email address with Gravatar. Have been around since , RAW-Samples is one of the best places if you need a RAW file to learn image editing, while you have no time to go out for photographing. This website comes with a very good navigation where images are gathered based on camera brand. RAW-Samples is basically meant to help developers by giving them possibility to check their software with different camera-brands and models.

But, the website also kindly offers free RAW files that you can download to learn image editing or other purpose. The RAW file — just like the service — is limited to portrait photo. The photographer promises to give you free RAW images he use in his free tutorials if you sign up to his website. Not all items available on this site are free, some are paid. But, if you want a free RAW images to start learning image editing you can visit retouchbox.

You need to create an account first in order to download the free box. RAW photos on this site are available on royalty free license. You can use the images for calendars, portfolio and posters other than for learning.

I would like to add a new project for getting raw photos for free. Definitely should be added to this list. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Sign in. Log into your account. You can use our premium raw files in order to grow and to start building your retouching portfolio.

Please look at the provided description about how to properly use and credit the different sets of images. Every photographer may grant you different rights or demands credits to be used in a different way. Please do not give the images away and instead recommend them by sending people to this page. We would appreciate you giving back as we put the work in to provide you with useful material to grow and to earn money.

A bad image will always need a lot of fixing and you will never be able to make it a freat image. Wheras when starting with a good quality file and from an properly processed raw image, you can acheive pretty much everything. Retouching is foremost about fixing things that could not be taken care of while shooting. Therefore fixing sometimes is necessary but you need to practice with the best files you can get to develop your skills, you eye to hand coordination and you visuals.

Developing a taste on how things can look there best is also an important skill you have to learn, which you will not by trying to fix mediocre images. Therefore use our source and download the images provided for free. If you do not have access to quality images you surely have tried google search or stock libraries. But I can ensure you they will never provide quality shots by professionals within the beauty industry. They are not unique nor have the potential to be published. And if they are, you might have to spend an unproportional amount of money in order to practice or to build your portfolio.

Freelance work does not come by its own. So, if you lack the appropriate images, you should take advantage of downloading the files we provide totally free for you to use in your retouching portfolio. There are Different companies providing such software such as Adobe, Phase one, Hasselblad and different software companies. Most of them are going to cost money.

You can try using free software to process your raw files but I recommend sticking to the known software which has its place in the industry for a reason. You might have to import your images first in order to process them correctly.

After being processed the raw files need to be exported into a comon known format depending of further use. As you intend to retouch your images, you will need to export them as psd files or as tiff files. Those formats are commonly used for retouching and can be open within your image editing software of choice. We recommend using Photoshop for your retouching work. JPEG Raw files provide more image data as jpeg files. They are unprocessed, are used in a much larger color space and therefore give you more options to shift, change and control saturation of colors.

They also give you the opportunity to use icc and dng based camera profiles to correct your image data when shot with different lenses and bodies to make them look the same color-wise.
