Reuters: RAW format is banned

Designer · Nov 18, 2015

I still don't know if an editor can tell if it was shot in RAW when he is looking at the JPEG version.

How would he know?

It's easy to copy EXIF from an SOOC JPEG into a highly processed one, changing the times in file attributes are easily done too (In it's crudest form just by adjusting the computers time & date...) Such things can possibly be detected by careful analysis of the datafile but will pass a quick check.

I don't think it matters if it's SOOC or not if it involves bacon (priorities!).

If you're working (hired, contracted, whatever) for Reuters, then you provide what they need - if they say they want JPEGS, then you send JPEGs. You follow their guidelines and provide what meets their requirements. Or go work for somebody else.

Seems to be a non issue except for people working for Reuters, but then if PP doesn't make an issue of it they can't get viewers, followers, advertisers etc. etc.
