Raw is comparable to transparency film in that very little interpretation is done to what could be considered the first generation image. After that the analogy between digital files and film qucikly swings to one where Raw is more analagous to negative film than to transparency. I In other words .jpg and .tif formats give you less overall range of control post-shutter release as did transparency film. Raw format and negative film provide a larger range of control post-shutter release. Tom C. ======= RAW is like slide film in that what-you-see-is-what-you-get. Post processing is up to the photographer, be it scanning, adjusting in PS or whatever. (Don't know about you, but I used to scan my slides and adjust them in Elements.) The control is with the photographer. JPEG is like print film in that the colors are very much up to some lab person's interpretation and/or up to the in-camera software. The control is NOT with the photographer. See? I am talking about control. Marnie
