Among other things, processing improved the image clarity. I adjusted the PureRaw DNG file using Adobe Lightroom  in order to make the most of the data captured by the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is both the processed file, and the Lightroom work window showing some of the file&#8217;s vital information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"317\"
