Only because even the concept did not exist with him. Otherwise, he was probably astute enough to grab it and run. It is not for everyone and everything, just the best.

Imagine yourself as a successful photographer. Are you shooting in JPEG?
Define successful. Yes, I shoot jpeg.

Ansel Adams is dead. There is no way anyone can KNOW what he would do or like or use. The only thing anyone can do is SPECULATE.

When people were shooting with film cameras, it was the same as raw today. No processing in camera, we had to do the post-processing ourselves, in the dark room. So yes, he was shoot in the raw mode.

A RAW file is equivalent to a latent image on film.
It can now be developed by inspection. It can be developed again and again. It has not been fixed.
It can be manipulated in color, not just black & white.
A zone photographer could only dream of such.
I think he would have been delighted.

As much as I like his work, I've always considered him as the master technicial... I don't like all his compositions, but I admire his technical skills...

Maybe raw is only necessary to fix your bad pictures, but for the rest of us all the shooting data and the greater latitude for adjustment often makes raw a better choice than JPEGs for post processing

What a silly premise and poor conclusion. Since Adams invented the zone method, it is more than likely that he would have shot raw if digital photography had existed at the time.

Ansel Adams was a photographer and a technician.
