- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi Everyone,
Sorry to beat a dead horse here (and to sound like such a rookie)-
I'm going on a week-long trip to some National Parks and although it is mostly based on the hikes and camping, I'm obviously going to take a lot of pictures (duh!). And, according to my past hikes around CO, I often take many, many photos (just to make sure I've gotten it right). Because I'm moving around a lot, I don't really have the time to sit, zoom in, and check every image for sharpness (and delete soft images). I'll be bringing a daypack that caters to photography, so I'll have about 12GB of memory cards and 3 batteries on me.
The question is (especially for those who do travel/on-the-fly photography)- when would you use either setting? I was thinking I would shoot most things in Jpeg (to save room) and move to RAW when I'm shooting my "best" pictures (pics I hope to print and heavily edit in LR5).
Or, should I just shoot everything in RAW and delete the "bad" ones while I'm in my tent at night to save space?
I eventually plan to print the best ones in a book (like a shutterfly-type) and edit/keep the others on an external HD.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
