[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 753475, member: 9240"] If you're getting great results with JPG then you might not need to spend "countless hours in front of the computer" because it sounds like you're nailing your shots. The advantage to shooting Raw is that if you don't nail something you have more options. What you would most likely do is to create a set of settings that translate your Raw files to what you're getting from your JPEGs. I use Lightroom to import and catalog my stuff, and I apply certain defaults to my Raw files on import. For you this may be as simply as applying the Camera profile that matches what you're shooting with and then set your sharpening and denoise adjustments. Once you have that you can then save it and apply it on import to all your images. It [I]should[/I] leave you with no more work than what you have now in terms of editing. You'd just have to do a batch export to JPEG for your customer. And like I said, it will allow you to save some images that you might have missed. [/QUOTE]
