[QUOTE="Rexer John, post: 155169, member: 12691"] Don't be intimidated by raw, it's just a file that you can adjust and then convert the output to jpeg. If you don't like the jpeg output you can go back to the raw file (your digital negative) make adjustments and grab another jpeg. Raw has so many advantages over jpeg and there are lots of posts on it around the forum. The two biggest advantages in your scenario are that you can chose white balance after the shoot and you can bring out dark areas much better as there is so much more info in the file. You can even change the exposure by up to plus or minus 2 stops, although limiting to 1 stop either way will give best results. Shoot raw, not because it's cool or clever, but because it works! Try shooting indoors at night with white balance set (incorrectly) to sunlight. Try to correct the jpeg first, then try with the raw file. See how good raw is? [/QUOTE]
