Do you have an example? then you're doing something wrong. a simple example is correcting white balance. another example is recovering shadow detail. there are many others. I agree. btw, I think your pc clock is wrong... One major advantage of RAW, in addition to the previously mentioned ones, is that you can easily edit the RAW image, non-destructively. -- Peter |

There is probably a whole boatload of reasons if we want to list them all. JPG is way too destructive for any serious saving-editing-saving. In fact, if I'm going to a lot of different editing sessions on a photo, I either save it as a TIF or maybe photoshop's PCD format. |

Actually the Adobe format to use, which also allows you to keep layers intact, and have a smaller file size than an uncompressed TIFF is the PSD. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I guess that's what I meant ot say....the PSD rather than the PCD. I usually use neither, just the RAW to TIF or RAW straight to JPG. Tim |

Those PCD files are so destructive that the choice to use them has been destroyed. The use of personal Communication Devices is a fast growing field. -- Peter |

You can edit anything non-destructively. Right, but you can't save it back to Jpeg non destructively, so why start with a lossy Jpeg in the first place? I can't see the point myself since you can easily set up PS or LR to automaticly apply your camera settings when you open a RAW file if that's all you want to do. If I really needed to print direct from the camera I can save RAW+Jpeg, never do though. Trevor. |

Keep trying. except that jpeg is already destructive. you can edit non-destructively from that point on, but you can't undo what was done to make the jpeg. |
