What's the format type for your digital photos?

RAW is only good if you know how to manipulate the different layers within the picture. And you cannot view it with a normal picture viewer. You need a special software to open the RAW format pictures. Given that we usually develop our photos at the photoshops, not all of them are equipped to handle RAW pictures. Given that most of us are not using the pictures we take for any professional services, jpeg is more than sufficient to meet our needs. Also, with the large file that RAW creates, you need really huge memory cards to be able to shoot more pictures when you are going out with your camera. Unless you really love to manipulate and play with editing of pictures, RAW is not recommended. jpeg does a mighty good job already.

I always shoot in RAW format because it has more flexibility but the file size is too large. According to some of the articles I've read, shooting in raw is just like the unprocessed photo in the darkroom of film photographs. By shooting raw, you can adjust a lot of things like exposure, white balance, vibrance, saturation, sharpness, etc.

When i was only a child,most of my phones are all print out.There is no digital camera.With the development of the world.Most of the people have digital camera. The deep impress of me during the vacation,most of the travelers all have one digital camera.This trip i take more than two hundreds phones in my camera.My mother advice me to print them out.She always sees her phones when she was young.They leave good memory for her.I think she is right,but it takes so much money to print them all out.So i decide to choose a few of them to print them.I think it is good to treasure up.Maybe i can treasure one up in my burse.

I shoot RAW sometimes, but not too often. I prefer to shoot jpeg. There are some benefits of RAW. The main benefit is that you can adjust the white balance after you've taken the photo. This gives your photo a more natural color. I personally haven't noticed any problems with the white balance or color in my photos. I've shot a lot of comparisons between RAW and JPEG, and I really haven't noticed a lot of differences in my photos. In fact, most of the time I like the way the JPEG photos look better than the RAW photos. I also don't print my photos often. For someone who prints out all of their photos, then maybe shooting RAW will have a lot of benefits. RAW files are a LOT larger than JPEG files, so you can't take as many pictures when shooting RAW. Among professional photographers I know and work with, I've found just as many that shoot JPEG than those who shoot RAW.

Hello youless... I've always used JPEG...sometimes Bitmap, but mostly the other. I've never heard of the .raw extension. Then again...I'm "from the old school." cdrxo

Raw is mainly used by professionals. A jpeg image is automatically processed in camera, a raw image is not processed by the camera and is usually processed in photoshop or other editing software. Processing usually involves color saturation and sharpening.

Youless, you can not print from RAW format. You have to convert it for TIFF or JPG. RAW format is giving you the option to work and make an adjustment if needed. You can open RAW only in few applications like Photoshop, Lightroom or Aperture.

Good evening, youless. Mine is JPG. I don't have the other format type. It is new to me.

Bless your heart, I point and push the little button and that is all i know about my camera.
