Saturday night at GFM (the June edition) there was a very nice sunset, and several of us repaired to the top of the mountain to photograph it. I was shooting JPG, feeling intimidated my the perceived arcana of RAW conversion.
It was a mistake. The colors came out very strangely, with different strangenesses depending on where I set the white balance. Detail wasn't very good, either. This shot was one of the best, and it suffered horribly getting compressed to a web-suitable size: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4848240 Ist D, FA 16-45, JPG, ISO 400, 1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/11. JPG converted to TIFF for editing, then "saved for Web" in PE4. The TIFF looks a lot better than the displayed JPG, but even the original JPG was disappointing. And that is why I now shoot RAW.
