[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 378635, member: 13090"] I don't know about chimpanzees, trained or otherwise, but I've been paid to take photos that were purely utilitarian in nature; documentation, more specifically, of specific land attributes for something that had to with geology that I really didn't understand. Point being: Not every photo needs to be a work of art, a personal expression or is intended to communicate personal expression. The agency paying me wanted documentation, not art, and they were quite satisfied with JPG's straight out of my camera because they could have them in minutes and in a format they could work with right straight away. No muss, no fuss, no bother. RAW is great when you want to create an artistic expression, I agree. But it's also about choosing the right tool for the job. Sometimes that means RAW, sometimes that means JPG. [COLOR=#ffffff].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
