Re: I 'm learning to love raw

I might shoot JPEG when I am not taking important work. If I am documenting
a political meeting for instance. The client just wants a CD for their uses.
They don't know how to adjust them and I don't know how they are going to
print them. They will send them to a webmaster or DTP person who may not be
able to open a RAW.

Other notes: Isn't there a camera brand that uses .RAW for an
extension...Canon maybe. That make the all caps appropriate....I think.

I do convert my RAW (ORF for me) to DNG as I take them off the chip. I might
loose some EXIF information...not sure....haven't missed it yet.

There is a perception by some that shooting raw is more work then
shooting jpegs.

I think that the misconception is more that it's tougher to work with
after the fact than JPEG, and that there are a few variants of RAW,
which are often specific to the manufacturer of the camera.

But for me, I use BreezeBrowser Pro to mass-convert the RAWs to JPEGS
for quick and easy browsing; and then use Camera Raw in Photoshop to
adjust the images as required... Results are far better than if I'd
shot to JPEG directly.
