JPEG or RAW?
 

Just wanted to hear peoples opinions of what picture format they shoot in. Both has it's advantages.

I always shoot in RAW. It gives me total freedom during post-processing. I then convert to 16-bit TIFFS so I don't lose any details through compression. Only when I need to submit them to the internet do I then resize the TIFF's into a reasonable size and usually export at 80% quality (sometimes 100% quality if I can get away with it). :)

RAW usually, unless I am just doing "snapshots" when I set the camera in full auto and JPG fine modes. :)

RAW + JPG, raw for processing, and jpg because my card reader can’t see RAW on its own!

RAW for me as well.

Always Raw for taking photographs.
No other way is good enough I think. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ons/icon10.gif

Images in the RAW file format must be huge!!! A fan of JPG myself, more than sufficies for the average punter (assuming the compression rate is not overkill)....

anywere between 6 and 10 Mb each :) and sometimes bigger depending on the camera settings/pixels etc.

Agree that RAW files are big but then my 16-bit TIFF's average between 30 and 50meg each. :o

Lucky I bought those two 750Gig HD's.... :D

Raw files as stated can be large,
but if you have a few 1GB cards,
you won't have any problems. Just download as quick as you can.

After a little experimentation, that's what I've settled on.

It's like using the jpeg files as a sort of index to find the pictures you want to take further. Thumbs plus does this very well for me.

You don't have to open individual RAW files in PS just to see what the picture is.
