Subject: EOS POLL - RAW or JPEG
Right, time for a poll.
Do you shoot RAW or jpeg, and why?
I'll start. I shoot jpeg. The reason I shoot jpegs is simple. I shot the
same scene RAW and large/fine jpeg. I put both through PS and printed
each at A3. I compared the prints and there was not a damn bit of
difference between them. My end result is printing, so that was that.
I'm aware of the extra 'latitude' that RAW has to offer, but for the
sort of stuff I shoot, I'm not fussed. I pay a bit more attention to
exposure, and bracket where necessary. The 1DmII is spectacularly
accurate a good 90% of the time. Speaking of which, I don't have buckets
of time to sit processing image files and I don't do batch work. I zip
through my 'contacts' in the PS file browser on a Mac and pick out the
ones I want, apply some curves and save as PSD's. Resized and sharpened,
a few pop out the S9000 and are mounted on friends walls.
Flame away ;-)
Cheers,
Cotty
We both shoot JPEG, too. With the overall quality of the JPEG compared to
the RAW files, there's just so little point in the extra step in workflow to
convert from RAW to JPEG. Yes, there's more room to correct in RAW, but, if
you get it right the first time, there's really no need, as we see it...
