[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 61037, member: 1746"] Lightroom is to digital what a darkroom is to film. Do you think back in the day all your film was developed using the same settings? No..... adjustments were made. You do the same thing in Lightroom. I shoot RAW & JPG. I shoot JPG for the reason I can see what my camera thinks it should look like. I also have the option of showing someone a photo right away. Not every photo I take comes out of my camera the way I see it in a JPG file compared to what I saw in the view finder. People shoot in manual mode because they want more control over their camera. So it would make even more sense to shoot RAW and edit them, thus giving you even more, if not total, control over your camera. As Rick pointed out, shooting JPG, your camera makes all the choices for you. As pointed out in a similar thread, I think I'm a lot smarter than my camera. I think by editing every shot I want to keep I'll have better looking photos than what the camera thinks. The first part of the argument that photos that haven't been edited are worthless is somewhat correct because they were taken to be edited later. The second part of the argument that you can't take any good photos today without editing them is somewhat misleading in my opinion. You can take good photos without editing them, however, you're going to have better results if you do edit them. It seems your co-worker takes great pride in his photos like many of us here do and wants to show you his best I think you will find most people here do post processing of some sort, be it RAW or JPG. That's my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
