[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 371200, member: 15805"] Here's the best analogy I can offer for shooting raw: When you walk into a restaurant and order a sandwich and drink, you partake of the meal you order. Let's say,....... ham & cheese on rye with a cup of coffee. That's a JPEG meal. You get a couple slices of rye bread with ham and cheese between them, and a cup of coffee. But suppose you walk into that same restaurant, order the same ham & cheese with coffee, and decide when the plate is set down in front of you you want something different. So you grab the plate, walk back to the kitchen, and make a chipped beef on toast. Or a cheeseburger. Or BLT. Or turkey club. And the coffee can become a soda, or iced tea, or lemonade......... That's raw. Sure, you can make [I]some[/I] adjustments at the table with your JPEG sandwich. Like to add ketchup, ask for extra guacamole or scrape off the mayo. But you still have basically the same sandwich you started with. JPEG is the meal set down before you. Raw is [I]access to the kitchen as well as the pantry stock[/I]. [/QUOTE]
