Curious... From what the people that use or who haved used RAW seem to be saying (unless I have got this wrong) the adjustments made to RAW are better?
Then my question is: Do you need to adjust them THAT much??
D_M_J said:In short ..... No. Shooting RAW doesn't mean you forget about getting it right in camera.
Any PP adjustments, no matter how small, are best done to the original file, which can then be output to a (compressed) jpg format. Personally, I never do anything to a jpg file, I just see it as a final output (both in the day job and for my photography).
I now shoot in jpeg.
I just to shoot in raw but had a while when I shot in both and to be honest I could never see the diffence in the final image, so I went to jpeg.
So.. you shoot in RAW and save a copy in jpg?
I'm not judging, I'm just trying to find out what other snappers do?
i find you cant do such dynamic range with jpeg.. thats why i miss RAW..
could shoot something into the sun and brighten up the underexposed bits and recover the sky... looks very bad when you do that with jpeg.
Like the panic button idea !
I guess if I had a 1D I could send JPGs to one card and RAWs to another and have some of the best of both worlds.
