Doubtless if I shot RAW all the time I would have the ability to get the very best out of each and every frame. The truth is I don't have the time to spare sat in front of the Mac. I spend too much of it here as it is! I'm sorting stuff out on one and emailing on the other, or off out working. Computer time will diminish markedly from mid December as I get going on our house. 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. If I were shooting for a magazine I'd undoubtedly shoot RAW. I'm not! The camera does a great job of exposure and if the jpeg is that bad I'll pass. Besides, I like contrasty lighting setups ;-) > >You continue shooting jpegs, I'll continue shooting raw.
