Why RAW?

There are two types of people in this world: those who will tell you that you won't succeed unless you shoot in RAW and your grandmother.

Only people who use raw and are very proud of it capitalize it - for them it eludes to the great importance of it !
It escapes to the great importance???

Not sure, but I believe the expression "RAW" refers to the makeup of the image file having no additional processing. All data recorded by the camera sensor remains in this file. I also believe that the word "RAW" does not serve as an acronym. Hope this helps.
Why be helpful when we're all having fun???

I wonder if admin would consider a new sub forum, one that actually limits it's discussions to photography.
Just a thought.
No way!

The use of the word RAW v. raw isn't related to photography?
Are we talking about turnips?
So it missed the "General Discussion" category, how many lashes does he receive?

Why is raw capitalized on UHH?
Does RAW stand for 3 words?

It is not an acronym. It is sometimes capitalized arbitrarily by folks who don't know it isn't a standardized file format.
Raw files come in as many different "flavors" as there are camera models. While each manufacturer takes a different general approach to the overall file structure, each camera has its own raw profile that identifies it to post-processing software and provides the "neutral" starting point for color adjustments.
This makes it a challenge to write software that interprets these files. Only the manufacturer has all the "secret sauces" needed to get the color they intended. That's why you MAY get better color out of Canon Digital Photo Professional than Adobe Lightroom Classic.

If you think you get 'better' color out of software other than Adobe, that just shows you don't know how to use the Adobe software. The observation is demonstrably incorrect.

You guys have no clue about it, sensors do not see any difference between RAW out and any other file format. It is not any better than TIFF.

So the phrase, "shooting in RAW" doesn't mean disrobing before picking up the camera?

This is one of the detriments of using raw - from a user standpoint .....no standardization..... ! but it does give the software people a lot of jobs securityDec 13, 2022 09:35:12 #

Raw isn't just a file format, it's a way of life. A RAW file allows me to contribute to the world in ways far beyond the capabilities of my camera.

Raw is analogous to shooting in Manual. And everyone knows all the pro photographers shoot in manual so it must be the professional thing to do.
