It really depends on what you want to do with your images.Should I start shooting in RAW? What are the real advantages?
You aren't shooting in RAW now?Should I start shooting in RAW?
RAW vs JPEGWhat are the real advantages?
Yes it will.So if i shoot in raw will PSE7 convert them??
PSE 7 will load ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) automatically when you try to open a RAW file.or do i d load a converter?
Only if you already converted the RAW files to JPEG. Some image viewers will work with RAW files but not all...depends on the image viewer you use.I assume its possible to view them in a normal image viewer?

Shoot in JPEG until one day you go "damn, why the heck did it do THAT?" Then when you realize why JPEG screwed you up, you'll know it's time to shoot in RAW in that situation.
There's nothing wrong with JPEG until you have an eye to see what's wrong with JPEG. Until that point, shooting in RAW may well drive you buggy.
However... RAW is unquestionably better overall and anyone that tells you different is smoking something really exceptionally cool.![]()
Great advice. I have been shooting JPG for just over a year or so when this exact scenario happened to me. Its not that I didnt know how to use or process raw its just that I hadnt though that I needed to shoot raw until recently when I started getting more serious.
You would shoot in RAW> move the RAW file to your computer> open PSE 7 and then open the RAW file> ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) will open and you can do some editing at this point (white balance adjustment, exposure adjustment, straighten the horizon, etc...) and when you're done with those edits you can then send it to PSE 7 for further editing (using layers)> when you're done editing in PSE 7 you can then save the image file as a PSD file (the native Photoshop file format that keeps the layers so you can work on them later) or convert it to JPEG, TIFF or whatever you want to save it as.so would i shoot raw, use PSE7 to convert to jpeg then process or open the raw file, process then save as a jpeg?. Do you mean some of the functions with PSE wont actually work with jpg?
