Photography Question 

BetterPhoto Member
 

why should you shoot in Raw?


Raw format delivers more than 15 times as much information .
Raw = 4000+ brightness levels
Jpeg = about 300 brightness levels
Raw has many adjustment choices, not available for images shot in Jpeg or Tiff
The darkfoom is where the bonus comes in, just like slide film.

  Isn't this the same thing that you and Jerry duked it out on? Why are you bringing it up? To cause a big fight? Oh and by the way if you haven't noticed you've chased Jerry off. Is that what you wanted? I hope your happy, since you've chased off one of the most knowledgeable people here.

  No, I just have the facts now and want to share the difference which is pretty big if you ask me. He left because he has a short temper. I already know that now after meeting him at one of the expo's.

Anyway, I think it was shutterbug that did a survey and said that 87% of professionals are using Raw.

We can even go into the histogram if you want to get deeper

  Kerry Walker Ladies and Gentleman! A fine comic in our realm of photography!

At least I get a big kick out of your humor Kerry!

P.S. S/He asks a question in the subject and then answers shis own question in the text. What's the point?

  Good one Kerry! Now that you put it that way, I ain't ever shooting in the RAW again!lol

As for you Tamara, if that is your real name(I've always wanted to say that),this is a forum for REAL questions, not statements. So if you have a statement, keep it to yourself, if you have a sincere question then post it. I doubt that you've ever met Jerry, Michael Savage, or anyone else that you have claimed to have seen. So Tamara, why don't you keep it up and you might just be able to chase all of us off and destroy this site. That is what you're trying to do isn't it?

  Justin we must have been typing at the same time. The reason that S/He awnsers their own question is attention.

  You guys are taking Tamara & Tuday (tomorrow and today) the wrong way. Just egg him on a little and he will start talking to himself - under different sign-in names. I think it is hilarious.

  Haha, to EVERYONE.

Please don't be deturred from this site due to Tamara/Tuday/Dr. Evil/S.Mitchel, whatever. This is an awesome site and we need not be distracted by this thing. Other than that, have a peacy day and remember to thank your heavens you're not him/her.

i mean that in the best way possible and not offensive to any legit person

  Ok Kerry with your warped sense of humor we need a nickname for this guy so we don't have to keep typing "he/she" "s/him" all that crap, any ideas. I like following his/hers threads just to watch the faithful BPers make fun of him, its quite enjoyable when I get bored at work! Thanks for the laughs.

  Wonder why the girls never say they want to meet me? They wouldn't be disappointed - they would be devastated!

  Females usually don't have an evil sense of humor like most men (whether they admit it or not!)

  I used to call the Today/Tomorrow person Justin, since he used that name for a while. But I wouldn't want anyone to confuse him with Justin G.

I think I'll go with Dr. Evil, that one seems to fit and will be clear to everyone who we mean.

  Chris I agree, that's what we should call S/He from now on.

  Since he is now using the name Tamara and Tuday, I think we should use the name TNT. After all, he is dyn-o-mite. He blows things all out of porportion. Please don't run him off. I am having too much fun bantering with him and then watching him make a fool of himself.

  Kerry I think that's also a good one, but with Dr. Evil I think that more people would figure out who were talking about. Oh yea, I just noticed this, it's now changed from Tamara & Tudy to Tamy.

Sorry Kerry, I think I might have scared them off for a while. In the "thanks everybody for your praise" thread, she said that she had recived some sexual remarks. And I told her that if it's true then she should sue whoever it was for sexuall harrassment. And ever since, she hasn't said anything since, that I know of at least.

  Are you now going to try and accuse Chris, Kerry, Justin, and me of all being the same person? Because you've already accused Kerry and Chris of being the same person under Dr. Evil.

  5 different names on one account in one day. That must be a reccord even for you. I bet your parents wish you stayed that way. And don't say you did stay that way. A good kid wouldn't be doing this.
