September 26, 2013 By Eric Reagan

beforeafterjpeg

Google+ added improved RAW file to JPEG conversion for over 70 cameras (including new cameras like the Nikon D800 and Nikon 1 J3). Additionally, you can always access your RAW files from the cloud if you need the original on a local drive.

Check out this intro video to the brightness histogram for a little taste of how HDR Expose 2 works. [Read more…]
