RAW Photo Tips

No, I don't know enough to give any yet... YET! There have been a couple of different conversations surrounding RAW images, inside a couple of different threads lately. Well I found this article in the February 2009 edition of Popular Photography Magazine, and thought it worth sharing.



What are some other tips on RAW images out there?

It really boils down to what you are going to do with the images you take. Here is a decent comparison complete with images that'll show you some of the differences in quality settings:

That article sums it up pretty well for me. I shoot RAW because every now and then I get a picture that I really want to print out, and not at the standard 5x7 size. I do not want to wish for more detail or picture data in those situations, so I shoot RAW+JPG on my Canon. JPG for most images, RAW for the "keepers".

With storage as cheap as it is now, and online backups, you might as well shoot RAW if your camera can do it; lack of storage space should never be an issue.
