Yeah in the week+ since this post, I have been shooting in RAW only. And it’s working out well, with no plans of going back to JPEG.

I’m planning on, in the coming days, to go into some of the specifics.

Thanks for commenting, Gish.

Crud. I forgot a commented here. I remembered when I saw your new lightroom/nvidia post. I betcha I could salvage a jpeg image to the same degree I have RAW images but for me it is a question of time. The RAW editor has, iirc, more tools when editing the raw compared to editing jpegs. Could I accomplish the same thing in CS3 itself, maybe, but I am lazy so convenience won out for me.

My camera phone doesn’t have RAW options.

I keep hearing that argument and would love to see some concrete examples. Like – “here’s an image in RAW and JPEG and here are the edits of both of them.”

I have the camera, I guess I should just take some time and do that test myself, eh?

Now that I’ve been using Lightroom for a year or so, I think I can handle the overwhelming choice that come with RAW. Time to bite the bullet.

I am using Photoshop CS3 but I only shoot RAW simply because many a shot of mine has been salvaged in the RAW editor. Admittedly I also fall into the do I like it this way, this way or this way camp. Downside is the larger file size and processing needs but I haven’t looked back since switching.
