It was late in the evening when I spotted this beauty in the garden. I was surprised he let me get this close and in fact flew off just after I took his picture. Evening light is cool light and on the blue side. As much as I tried, I could not get the warm rich colours that the Tiger Swallow Tail Butterfly is known for. My Photo shop would not let me get any closer than this.
Enter the RAW file. I shoot most of my photos in JPEG and RAW format for just such occasions. RAW files have a lot more information than JPEG so can be manipulated to a larger degree as you can see below.
Now, that's more like it!

I love the "pop" that the edited RAW file received. Great catch of a photo and great post-processing work Terry!
