Many of the magazines I regularly work for have now advised that they are happy to receive jpg submissions only rather than the RAW/jpg images I was supplying. Many of the jpg's have been used for front covers and double page spreads. I did a shoot today for the biggest trucking mag here which included shots to be used for their next two front covers - all shot in fine jpg. I think it is fairer to say that shooting jpg means you do have to be more careful with exposures, colour settings, etc as it cannot be fixed later to the same extent. This itself is not a huge problem though. Storage of image files on jobs/trips is a fairly big issue and shooting entirely RAW is not practical. I do care about the photos but find I can satisfy myself and clients using jpg mode. Why make life harder than it has to be ? I understand that your situation is different Jim and I respect that, and I'm not sure if you're using the 1Ds either which could make a difference, but jpg mode is more than adequate for many applications. Let me know when you put some more of those images on your site so I can have a look.
