About Linliqua

A photography reference covering camera controls, RAW processing, retouching techniques, and editing software — written for photographers working in Poland and beyond.

Linliqua started as a straightforward attempt to fill a gap: most photography tutorials either assume complete beginner status or dive immediately into niche technical territory. The content here tries to sit in the middle — practical, technically grounded, and written for people who have moved past the basics but still encounter specific questions that take time to answer well.

The focus is on digital photography post-processing: how RAW files work, what different editing tools actually do under the hood, and how specific workflows — portrait retouching, colour grading, RAW conversion — are carried out in practice. Articles are updated when the software or techniques change in meaningful ways.

What this is

Linliqua is an editorial reference — a collection of guides and comparisons on photography technique and editing software. The content covers:

  • Camera settings and their effect on RAW file quality
  • RAW file formats, colour management, and demosaicing
  • Portrait and general retouching workflows in Lightroom, Photoshop, and open-source alternatives
  • Comparisons of editing software — both commercial and open-source
  • Colour grading approaches and tone curve fundamentals

How content is prepared

Each article is written to be accurate and verifiable. Where specific software versions or behaviour are described, the version number is noted. External links point to official documentation, academic sources, or widely-used reference resources. No article contains affiliate links or sponsored content.

Software settings and processing techniques are tested before being described. Where the optimal setting depends on image content, shooting conditions, or personal preference, that is stated explicitly rather than glossed over.
