I have a question!

What does PhotoShop have to do with a sharply focused image?
What does PhotoShop have to do with selecting an appropriate shutterspeed for the composition?
What does shooting in JPEG have to do with getting level horizons or cropping for composition?
What does shooting in JPEG have to do with being prepared when the action occurs?
What does shooting in JPEG have to do with getting the subject to feel comfortable and smile?
What does shooting in JPEG have to do with being in position for sunset, or sunrise, or a flower in perfect bloom?

As someone said - There is no such thing as "Jpeg Photography". Oh, that was you!

" SuperflyTNT" Yep I am a picture taker. I take pictures the way I like them and if they are good enough I sell them. They judge my pictures. Guess I got lucky two days ago, again. A business owner wanted a train picture I had two in stock showed them and said they were the only done but had a bunch mere. He took the two and said let me see them and I will pay you for 20 more now. I don't take the money and will show him a bunch on my laptop for him to pick out. They will be either 13X19's on paper or at 24X36 or 30X40. We all get lucky now and then.

Now there is such a thing I guess. There are 2 types of photography Jpeg and Raw. I stand corrected.

Good for you, although I would conjecture that sales don’t necessarily correlate to quality. The song “Disco Duck” sold over 2 million copies but I don’t think anybody is gonna confuse it with the Beatles.

After 10 pages of "conversation", I was considering a smart aleck post to the the OP, like "hey, Julian, did you get answers to your question?"
When I first saw his original post, I thought it was another silly "which is better, JPEG or RAW" question by someone who had raised the topic before. I readily dismissed the categorizations of "JPEG photography" and "RAW photography" as a lame attempt to stir up the old photographic divide.
But then I remembered rmalarz's and other's approach to exposure. He sets his exposure values to get the best RAW file. As a result his exposures can produce really lousy in-camera JPEGs.
So there you have it: expose for the best JPEG ("JPEG Photography") or expose for the best RAW file ("RAW photography"), that is the real question, no?.....😐

"SuperflyTNT" Quality in your mind may be different than in my mind, don't make either wrong. Quality can be the perfect technical picture with no noise etc, or could a picture that is eye catching and you will buy and hang on the wall and enjoy looking at. Some times it has to be fixed in RAW or in some case a JPG fix is enough.
We each do what we want and that is what makes photography what it is, a vast game.

It doesn't matter.
The camera will always shoot raw.
You choose to either export Jpeg, Raw, or Raw+Jpeg.

It COULD matter. You choose exposure settings to get the best JPEGs or the best RAW files and they're not necessarily the same....

In a nutshell:
If you prefer to display your images online or as small prints, say, up to 16”x20” and don’t get turned on using your creativity in post processing, shoot 8 bit-depth jpeg image files.
If, on the other hand, you want to capture more discernible detail for large prints and/or if you really like exercising your creativity in post processing, go for 12 or 14 bit-depth.raw captures.
Best regards,
Dave

Makes no sense what you are saying. Polaroid was a chemical photography system. Absolutely no connection to compressed images. Also my Polaroid cameras never needed shaking. I suspect you are trolling us.
It was like a joke.
