[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 371153, member: 12496"] If you make a mistake editing raw, no problem, you just change it. All you are changing is the list of changes, the original raw file is always the source. No harm done. But FWIW, we can also use Adobe Raw software to edit JPG files. 8 bit JPG does not have the range that raw NEF files offer, so benefits are rather limited, but using the Raw software offers two advantages to the JPG. It offers the better tools, and it offers lossless edit (of JPG too). If you edit JPG in the raw software, it never changes the original JPG (no additional JPG artifacts). Instead (like raw), it merely saves the list of your changes, but does not shift the data tones back and forth... Until you output a new JPG, the one time. One time meaning, this new JPG is expendable and temporary, for some specific use. When and if additional edits are desired, you discard that new JPG, and start over from the original JPG and your saved list of changes.. This means that other programs viewing that original JPG file do not see any changes, they only know how to see the retained original JPG. So we have use the raw software to output new JPGs which do have the changes incorporated, so that other programs can then view that new JPG and see the changes. Same concept as Raw, lossless edit (but from a limited starting point if JPG). Of course, if doing this for those advantages, one would ask "why not just use the raw file?" (and get all the benefit). You can always output a JPG when needed. If you think you want the camera settings, like say Vivid, you can set Vivid in the raw software too. And then see it, and maybe say "Oops, not on this one", and then fix it to look like you wanted it to look. :) [/QUOTE]
