Photography / Digital camera know-how

Explanation why "RAW" format file beats "JPEG" format file for detail-rich images
Digital camera by Canon, model 20D
RAW files produces better quality. Why?

RAW files are like undeveloped film. The image is there, it's just unprocessed. Most digital cameras capture 12 to 14 bits of image data and save it as a file. If set to JPG, the camera automatically compresses the image to 8 bits to save space. RAW does the opposite, converting the visual data upwards to a 16 bit file. This added dynamic range gives you amazing control and greater flexibility when editing and correcting the image an a computer.

Why? A 16 bit RAW file has 65,536 levels of brightness compared to an 8 bit JPG's 256. It allows you to bring out detail from shadows or highlights, like a white satin wedding dress or black suit.

Shooting RAW means more color, more detail.

A tribute to true heroes		  
Quote: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover"   - Mark Twain -
