For me, shooting RAW+jpg is a waste of storage space. The jpg images would look like crap.

Contrast that with RAW+JPEG, letting the camera create JPEGS to peruse in Explorer to see how the camera performed its conversion. Then adjusting the way one wants it to look if the camera didn't think the way one wants it to think.
I know, total control of the image, no second guessing by an electronic device.
One still has total control over the RAW data.

Obviously the "JPEG" slider presets won't be "correct" for every possible shot.

Most of mine don't. But I only use JPEGS to peruse the shots in Explorer to see which ones I want to edit.
I don't edit EVERY shot I take, only the ones I want to use.
Storage is cheap and I don't shoot a thousand shots a day. I took just under 450 shots when I went to Iceland for six days; I average maybe 350 (give or take) for a week in Maine in the fall.

Longshadow, as you well know and have shown in a few posts previous to this one, my exposure settings would produce useless jpgs.

For one of your methods of shooting, yes, definitely.
Do you shoot that way 100% of the time?

As I stated earlier in this thread, I shoot exclusively using RAW format. RAW allows me to Zonally place highlight values and process for the shadows.

I use those settings 99.9% of the time. There are a few "studio" type situations that I don't use UniWB.

I TRY very hard to get it right in the camera Bob... You have a lot more expertise than some of us muckers so I move sliders a lot. Actually, I would almost PP rather than click click ! RAW + JPEG lets me see the prospective keepers to work on easily... I do look at the thumbnails in the develop module though to sometimes get a starting point. I AM working on ETTR though...

And NO ONE is EVER going to change their mind. Exactly like the Mac vs PC endless debate.

BTW, I have dual slots on both my cameras and shoot Raw on one and JPEG on the other - each has it’s use. JPEGs when I need to share an image quickly SOOC, raw for more deliberative work. Since I raw convert using DPP for Canon and Capture One for Fuji, my camera settings are applied to my raw files so they look very close to the JPEGs in terms of contrast, sharpness, etc SOOC (not an accident - I “tune” the camera’s parameters to accomplish that)

Well I am a beginner. I am quite happy with my photos. I have won a 2 photo contests online (beginner contests). Maybe I am in the wrong group here. Not use to being jumped all over everytime I post something. 😕


I think he asked all those questions because RAW images are typically NOT better than JPEG without some editing. So he is simply wondering how you account for your RAW images being better that your JPG images. I don't think he is being critical, just curious about your technique.

I shoot and save Raw, it is like having a negative.
From there one can do as they please and that is personal choice.
Raw vs JPEG discussion is of value if there is a specific question of manipulating one or the other.
Outside of that it is beat to death. as is this thread.

There are a LOT more beginners here that you/we are aware.

AND, everyone has their own desires, philosophy, and methods about photography. Many are also obsessed with "perfection".
The bad part is the members that tell you what you should be doing (usually their way).
Take what people say only as a suggestion, many will be good, many will not be applicable to what you want to do.

Paul is definitely not jumping on you though.

Hang in there... You fit, as well as I. I'm not a "pro" and not obsessed with equipment nor perfection.
My cameras are 11 and 14 years old, I don't use LR, but I have Elements (14 and 19), as well as two other OLD editors. One I'll be VERY few here have heard of or would never consider using...

Yup, a lot of people here have horses taller than mine, and many have excellent suggestions.

Short, I by my own risk think jpeg=reversal, raw=negative (heritage of analogic darkrooms)
