[QUOTE="alaios, post: 556831, member: 41911"] Hi all, I am new photographer that I have started shooting events (baptisms and weddings) and currently I am at the lower part of the market prices (which is fair for me since I still train and try different techniques). Currently I shoot uncompressed raw files that are 14 bit and I still wonder how much I gain with that extra quality in those files. If one looks at my shots would notice sooner or later that I have to improve on 1. evoking genuine expressions 2. making faster correct exposures 3. light places and subjects better I do not see that at my stage 14 bits uncompressed files would be the quality boom I really need. The reason I am raising this issue is that the nikon raw files tend to be rather slow in my lightroom processing and I would at least get some post processing speed with smaller size raw files (and thus avoid upgrading pc costs) When I start to get to areas that my skill set has improved I guess it would be easier to get something more from larger raw files. How do you think about rationale here? Regards Alex [/QUOTE]
