Digital Photography 1 on 1: Episode 39: Understanding RAW Files

10 Feb

This week Mark Wallace explains the difference between RAW and JPEG. There’s no right or wrong answer to the question “should I shoot RAW or JPEG?” but Mark will help explain the advantages of each format.

Plies – “Me Ho” from his mixtape “You Need People Like Me” (hosted by DJ Scream). Special thanks to Ben Evans and Jose Delosangeles who assisted with the shoot.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

    1 question…This may sound stupid – but i’m only new to this stuff:
    If i shoot 2 exactly identical photos, 1 jpeg & 1 RAW, & then i change v RAW photo to jpeg on my computer (without having photo-shopped it etc.), which jpeg will have more detail or better quality?
    I hope my question makes sense & thanks greatly to anyone who responds.

    Without doubt the best digital photography videos I have found. I just wish more “learning” sites followed this approach instead of trying to blind people with science. I have learned more in watching the first 39 videos (in two days) than I have done in 4 months. Great work

    Extremely simple and competent explanation. Other videos were just confusing and argued about what was better instead of just supplying the facts. Great objective approach. Thanks for the help!!!

    where are those areas. The biggest advantage in raw is that you have the quality, even if you got some wrong settings but on lcd screen you thought those were good but on pc monitor you see that you need to do something else well with raw you can. You can increase the quality of the image make it sharper more brighter darkest and if you have b or white areas you can give them shape with a raw file. So if you want to experience the raw shoot in a black area or white with some detail in it and you

    you can do have b&w on a jpg but be sure you shoot in color then in ps or something that you use you can convert into b&w and still have the color. You also can play with light and other things in jpg. The only problem is that in jpg what you shoot is what you get. If by mistake you didn’t put some good settings on your camera and on some area are way too black or way too white well the only thing to get rid of that is to paint but it will not be that good and other thing is crop which depends
