Hey people,
I have been reading in my photography books the past couple of days about the RAW format and I was wondering should I be using RAW format? I am getting used to processing my photos after the fact of taking them (I used to just think they should turn out looking great lol) and I was wondering if I do put them in RAW format will it be easier and better when fixing them up and such?
Thanks for the help!
I am going to take a little different tack on the subject. What are you shooting for. Is this a business or a hobby and what do you want to achieve? A large amount of people like wedding photographers that do this for a living use JPG. They do not have nor do they want to take the time to post process. Most have gotten pretty good at what they do and get most of the shots right or at least close enough to make them sellable.
Me, this is a hobby. I shoot in raw exclusively. I want to post process my photos to achieve the very best result possible. If you have the time and the inclination you should seriously consider shooting raw.
