[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 191551, member: 13090"] Well I don't want to rehash what amounts to the "Ford v. Chevy" argument of photography, but the real difference in JPG and RAW is not whether the final product is cooked, but rather who does the cooking and how. By shooting in JPG you effectively surrender that control to the camera and it's internal processing power. Shooting in RAW gives *you* control of that operation and draws on the power of your home computer and specialized software applications developed for the task and designed to take full advantage of your home computer. By shooting in .JPG you are also reducing significantly the color depth your camera is capable of rendering. While a JPG can render a total of 16.8 million color gradients, the typical RAW file can render 68.7 [b]billion[/b] color gradients, or, to put it another way...Over [I]four thousand times[/I] as many colors as JPG. Now, like I said, I don't want to rehash an old argument, but this might be something to consider. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]......[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
