Are you feeling guilty or something? I don't recall pointing any fingers at you or throwing you up against a wall and demanding an explanation for why you do whatever you do...Yeah, gee... I wonder...
I answered a simple question with how I work. I don't believe that I said the way I shoot is the only way, or the correct way, of that how anyone else shoots is wrong. I really don't care what people choose, if they want to shoot raw, that's great. I explanied why I shoot jpegs. I try to get it right in the camera everytime I shoot, don't you?
When I shot film, I had to get it right in the camera, it was expected by clients when they got the film back, the images were right, it wasn't an option to screw up. So I shoot digital with the same approach, do it right the first time. It is still expected by clients, and more so, it is for me to do it right.
Does it really matter to you that much that I know what I'm doing with a camera or how I shoot, or to answer the Op's question that I choose to shoot jpegs.
Of course, if the shoe fits, feel free to wear it if you like. You DO have a tendency to let everyone know on frequent enough occasions how perfect you are when it comes to photography. Practically a god (like your photographer father before you), in that respect, from what I've read over time in your posts. You DO never need to shoot RAW because you ARE a professional who gets it right first time, every time, in the camera, as you've readily explained, unlike us mere mortals who are far, FAR beneath you.
And no, none of that matters to me at all - it's just an observation. While you are obviously at the center of your own universe and glow with the brightness of a million suns, you're not even in the same solar system with me in mine, so it doesn't matter to me what you do or how you do it - not one whit. In fact, from my POV, you're quite insignificant in the overall scheme of things, to be perfectly honest.
Have a great day!
Thanks once again you are correct with your observations. It seems that you have issues with someone working as a professional photographer and knows what they are doing with a camera. Is it some kind of envy complex you have. Most of the other people on this forum would look at my response as to why I don't shoot raw, and understand my reasons. You just seem to look at whatever I post as negative.
As far as my Dad goes, you have no idea how much he has influenced some of the best photojournalists in the world. Obviously you have little respect for professional photographers.
So when you are out taking pictures do you not try and get it right in the camera everytime, or do you just guess and use photoshop to fix it? You've been taking pictures long enough to understand the importance of getting it right in camera, or am I mistaken?
