Jpeg and RAW

[IkariWarrior]

I shoot raw and consider myself an real amateur. It gives a lot more flexibility in editing and you can always convert it to jpeg. Why limit your options?

My options are limited because I didn't no what the difference was. Thanks

I shoot j-peg 100% of the time, so handy, just bracket your shots. I don't own or understand editing programmes much, so for me j-peg is a winner.

Only my tuppence worth input.

It's only limiting your options if you're struggling to get the final image to your / your clients taste. The end result is an image file, if shooting jpegs only and you are having to rework/edit the image to a reasonable degree to get the image right, then raw is a better option as it holds more data for you to work with. If you only need a minimal amount of pp edits then jpegs are fine.

Modern / most cameras are quite good at getting good images, but the fact is that you need to know how to get the best out of it to produce a usable image.

I can get more miles per gallon out of my car than my wife can, it's the same car doing the same thing, the difference is that I know how to drive it more economically. (or it's the fact that she weighs slightly more than me)
