Raw is not an image. It’s a data “wrapper” file containing a mediocre camera JPEG thumbnail, an EXIF metadata table, and all the digitized but unprocessed sensor data.

Thanks everyone I’m getting a lot of good feedback... (show quote)
Yes, I understand you are somewhat inexperienced and I understood what your question was. You received multitudes of advice and we all are trying to help but sometimes we get a bit technical and sometimes we try to make you feel like the exposure is not so bad by comments like "if you like it that's all that counts." I will leave you with this. Settling for an improper exposure when you really don't know what's improper is just plain counter-productive. Learn the exposure triangle forwards and backward. When you gain the ability to recognize a properly exposed shot then proceed to the "artistic" sides of exposure. Just as a painter must learn the basics of painting so must the photographer. Many shots will still have to be tweaked in some post-processing program and that's a very useful tool to help not only exposure but many other parts that go into making a pleasing photograph. Learn the basics. Then, and only then, will you be confidently equipped to move on to the more technical and artistic side of photography. We only wish you the best as you progress but, please, don't live in a fool's paradise buy settling for less than proper exposure or excuse it by believing if you like it then it's good enough.

Photography is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do.

My apologies I misread his initial statement I thought he was afraid of ruining his original photo and I just thought if someone could show him how to a save one and work on another, He wouldn't have to worry about ruining the photo thank you for this observation

Sharing raw is not really useful but anyone with Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom can open and work with any raw files, right. That’s quite a lot of people and may hold true for other tools as well, right.

My raws are 29 megabytes, so too big for the 25 megabytes limit here anyway. Plus you couldn't view them without downloading and converting. Jpegs can be full resolution if desired, be viewable here, and use about a third of the file size.

The ideas documented here explain the reasons 'why' to use only 2048pixels on the long side, as well as providing screen prints of popular software to accomplish the 'how' of resizing: Recommended resizing parameters for digital images

If you lose details because your highlights are blown out or your shadows are blacked out, you are overexposed or underexposed. It is good practice to expose for the highlights because you cannot recover highlight details if they are blown out. You can generally recover details even from very dark shadows in post-processing. If your camera provides a histogram, avoid having the graph jammed up against either end. The same thing applies when you are editing. The histogram is your best friend; learn how to use it.
