How about "I shoot PNG" ?

Some editors lie ACR+PS, Affinity and Picture Window Pro (free) separate the raw conversion stage from the raster editing stage. That means you can't go back once you leave the raw editor and start working on the image

But ACR+Lightroom and Capture One don't separate the stages. You can always go back and change what you did during the raw conversion (like shadow recovery) even after you have cropped, leveled, cloned, converted to B&W, etc. Since it is so seamless, there is no downside to working with the raw file.

Thanks for echoing the things I just said. I told myself I will no longer make fun of stupid people on this site. Your limited and dismissive view is correct.?

It’s no strawman argument. I don’t have to convert to JPEG to do any of those things. It’s not a JPEG until I do the final export. I also cook. I could go buy a mix and make a perfectly adequate cake. I could even make modifications to that mix to improve that cake. I choose to bake a cake from scratch because then I’m in complete control of the finished product. When I shoot raw I get to make all the choices so I’m in control of the finished product.

I hope you are ok after earthquake in the Philippines this morning

Unless "good enough" is good enough for you, and then you just allow the cake mix manufacturer to decide for you! - (and applicable to photos!!!, as well).

If you think I echoed what you said then either you didn’t read it clearly or you’re being disingenuous. I also don’t see what’s limited and dismissive about my comments. You’re the one that thinks everyone shoots raw because they lack experience and expertise.

Thanks for your concern!

I was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at my phone. The bed started vibrating moderately, then increasing in intensity, lasting for probably 30 seconds or so. I would judge it to be about a 5.0, were it to have been here. However, it was 7.0, with the epicenter some 30 Km east of Vigan, at a depth of 10 Km. (Vigan is somewhat north of Baguio, up toward the tip of Luzon.)

Having been raised in Southern California earthquake country, and lived there for years, I have experienced them in the past many times. Several I have been in have been substantially more severe, with damage to my homes, but not life threatening. I always have enjoyed earthquakes, so I had to smile at something – my wife went to the Post Office to mail my “dead or alive” letter to Social Security shortly after the quake – and they were closed, as was everything else, including the mall, with everybody standing out in the street (in pictures, really a jam-packed crowd!). What they don’t think about – if another quake is sufficiently strong to collapse the buildings in which they had been, standing in the street immediately below the buildings would mean certain death! Also, inasmuch as they had been inside during the quake, they already had experienced what at a probable likelihood of 99% was by far the worst, as aftershocks almost always are substantially weaker.

Yes, and as his hair gets thinner, he has to work harder to maintain that. Jared walked right by me at a NYC photo show a few years ago. I guess he didn't recognize me.

When the artist Bob Ross went for an interview, he had that big head of red hair, and the producers insisted that he keep it. Poor guy. That was in fashion for a short time, but he was stuck with it for the rest of his TV life. There is even a small Chiapet Bob Ross.

JPEG is a subset of raw. All cameras create raw data and the JPEG is derived from that. Anything you can do with a JPEG you can do starting with a raw file. From the raw file you can create an RGB image and use a raster editor just as you do with a JPEG -- you can create a JPEG from a raw file and obviously do anything you can do with a JPEG.

The reverse is not true and you can do things with a raw file that you can not do with a JPEG.

You made this false statement all the way back on page one of this thread, "You can do the same things to a jpg as you can to a raw..."
And this further false statement, "Also note that a jpg image can be loaded into a raw editor and has all the same tools available as with a raw file." And I corrected you then: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-746438-2.html#13308798

You seem to care a hell of a lot about what I say...
and your appalling syntax and illogical rants do nothing
but reveal your insecurity.

You need a good psychotherapist.
