The power of RAW picture formats

The dark parts are very dark at the beginning because the intensity values are still linear, not in the srgb color space that screens expect. So it's just a matter of applying some 'gama correction'. What's very nice about raw is that there are more than 8 bits per channel. What is not nice about raw is that the number of software that does the mathematically correct thing with them is zero.

A bit overdone for my taste, but still great.
