The latter therefore is a no-fills, for lack of a better term, stripped down format. There are many image formats available like GIF, PNG, WEBM, etc., but JPEG is the most common standard of image files that is used across a wide variety of equipment-cameras to media players.I compare it to cooking a pie. RAW files are the recipes and the pie is the JPEG. No matter how good a JPEG is, it doesn't contain the information the RAW files have. My two cents worth.</blockquote>
