| | I have switched to shooting entirely in camera raw. What is the advantage? You get all the digital information the sensor collects. Then when you process the photo you can adjust the settings like color cast, white balance, brightness and sharpness. You can't change the focus, so you still need to get that right. But you will get better range in the extremes of light areas and dark shadows. What is the disadvantage? The files are larger so you can really fill up your hard drive. You have to post process every photo. You have to have a camera that will shoot in raw. If you shoot sports or fast action subjects, your burst photo number will be less due to the size of the files. Most cameras that can shoot RAW also come with software to take advantage of the files. You don't have to run out and buy photoshop. Try it you'll love it. |
