probably a controversial post, but i will ask.
obviously Raw has its uses and is as flexible as you can get, but
at what point is RAW required? is it really a must?
is tweaking with photoshop really required for every shot?
I have happily been taking shots with an Ixus with the only option of Jpegs for years, and been happy with the bright colourful (camera processed)pictures.
with only cropping and resizing, and at most and only very recently adding the odd border here and there.
could i own a DLSR and just use Jpeg's and get decent results?
without the flaffing about with software to enhance a picture?
tweaked images look great, but the occasions ive seen the original unmodified versions, there is something natural about them, the tweaked versions loose and then look artificial compared to the originals.
