RAW vs JPEG

When I read this it made me think back to the pre-digital days. I used to work with a few commercial photographers who shot only on transparency film. You shot more film, but having to get it right in camera taught discipline and skill.

+1 to this... I used to shoot just slide film... good ones were printed, Cibachromed. Used to be expensive so in-camera had to be spot on.

Getting it right in camera is certainly what we should all try and attain. However editing and tweaking photos is just as important. All pros do it.

Don’t forget it’s not just about exposure though.

I shoot raw for exposure yes but when I get the exposure ‘bang-on’ I am still glad for raw the extra colour detail that I have available.

Raw files are also nice and soft allowing you to sharpen as much as you want.

With the price of storage being what it is I am not really worried!
