These free RAW photos for retouching practice are all landscape images, and are ideal unedited RAW photos to practice editing.
I shoot all of my landscape photos in RAW, as it gives so much more flexibility when you come to edit your photos in Lightroom or Photoshop.
Feel free to use any of these RAW images for Photoshop practice (although they are not allowed to be used for commercial use, or re-sold or re-packaged for download), and if you do post your finished versions anywhere, please link back to www.lapseoftheshutter.com 🙂
