my school teacher teach us to shoot in jpeg... easier to use leh.
Hi Luenny
Think of raw as the *negative* of the picture you take with your camera.
It holds whatever information passed from the camera sensor.
The jpg is that information that underwent interpolation, in camera processing for white balance, sharpening, and compression in whatever setting you used. Note that jpg is a loosy compression, you lose information during the creation of a jpg.

Pardon me, but can't you tweak all these in JPEG too? I thought after the file is open in Photoshop, it does not really matter anymore since JPEG also have to be decompressed to raw data before Photoshop can display them. Sorry, that's what I understand all along so just want to clarify.
Hi all,
Thanks for the clarification. Ok, now it all makes sense. Because the camera automatically did something to the image before converting to JPEG (like white balance etc.) and JPEG being lossy, some of the things may not turn out the way we like. So I guess the main reason to shoot RAW is to have a better control on how you want to edit it later. Am I making sense? Do I understand it correctly?
RAW is WAR!!!
try underexposing your shot by 3 stops and then push them up in photoshop... im sure you can see a great difference... not saying it is that frequently use, but when it does, :thumbsup:Pardon me, but can't you tweak all these in JPEG too?

But 1 question here.
Why everytime I transfer my picture to photoshop from "Digital Photo Professional" , after editing, when I click on "save as" in photoshop, there is no JPEG format in the drop down list?
I'm using Photoshop CS 2 btw.
But my old files can be save in JPEG. Weird.....:dunno:
Also I believe certain colour modes aren't for JPG as well..
