Raw Vs. Jpeg effects with editing (Photo tips by Dom Bower)
This video is a slow one showing the editing power of raw compared to jpeg. Although you should never have to change your images by 4 stops in post production this video is showing a point not a purpose. The extra amount of detail that is captured by raw images in highlight details and the lack of noise in shadows when brightened in post production.

I agree that raw …
I agree that raw has a great use, though I have to go with the flow. Yes it takes time!
If you really have to make “that shot” and get it fast to the sport section of the paper then JPG will do. But if you make pictures to get the best out of them then RAW allows you really to get the best out of them.
But yeah it takes a step of thinking. We are nowadays used to the “shoot and see” method. In the past we would shoot, wait or process the film ourself, then see.

This is why i think …
This is why i think RAW is a whole lot better if you plan on doing any type of post processing. You know how the saying goes…better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
Shooting in raw (if you do post processing) really proves this point as i have, on many occasions, required all the photographic information RAW provides.
This video is great. 5 stars

Thanks for this …
Thanks for this video! Every other video only explained the difference between RAW and JPEG. It was great that I was actually able to see examples! By the way, I loved the sequence image in the end, did you take that?

emmm.. no you can …
emmm.. no you can use…. other stuff.
gimp only works with jpeg, i dont think it does raw, picasa might also work.

Is lightroom the only way to play with the darkness and brightness successfully, being that i only have gimp?? (can gimp do it?)

I myself have had a few bits of dust at one time on my camera’s sensor and a blower works just fine. I would never try to touch my sensor with anything in fear of just making things worse

ah yess good point ill make sure i do that for next vidoes.

sure it is not just on the second page of comments??? i can still see it. or maybe you will blame being a woman for not seeing that???

dont know why that was. i didnt do it, what was your comment?

dont know never used cs3 i just use the free programme called gimp.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:46 am
wow no one has …
wow no one has really shown anything like this it surely opens my eyes.Anyway thanks for the video certainly changed my view or jpeg vs raw.
one question tho do you mainly use light room for raw editing and then PS CS3 or whatever version for further editing? I have been wanting to get light room but i don’t know if it is justifiable since i already have CS3?

Hmmm interesting how my comment has been deleted.

Yup!
Just a little thing, when comparing images in lightroom, select the ones you want to compare and click the button X|Y.
Lightroom should seperate the screen in two so you can view the differences better

well it’s up to you …
well it’s up to you. It would be useful. I know that when you have spots on your viewfinder and you have no idea what’s gone wrong, you start to panic and end up cleaning your sensor or mirror with damaging alcohols.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:46 am
never thought about …
never thought about doing one of those. also never actually cleaned my sensor, bought the stuff but too scared. i just use a blower… should i still bother with a video?

i have a great idea for you. How about you take a photo in raw and find out?
i might make a more simple video about raw and jpeg.

i heard in raw file you manually have to set or balance color , is it true ?

Hi Dom,

Hi Dom,
firstly I would like to thank you for the time you put in to create the videos and for the information you share with them.
I was wondering if you would consider making a video or two about lens cleaning, sensor cleaning. what to do and not to do. There are videos like that out there, but they are unnecessarily overly detailed and don’t even have a presenter.
cheers

great good to hear …
great good to hear it. but remember Jpeg is equallly as good if you dont have to do any editing afterwards. and for stuff like photoshoots for sports magazines or clubs you dont want to be editing every photo so smoetimes jpeg is fine, but if youre getting the best quality for say a landscape image or an important image for a magazine then deffo raw all the way.

gender has nothing to do with it. Please do not consider that being a woman has some inherent limiting factor, Photography , like darts, is an equal playing ground. Some other women reading your comment may be offended.
