Why is raw capitalized on UHH?
Does RAW stand for 3 words?
Thx
Raw isn't just a file format, it's a way of life. The RAW photographer is more ease at the keyboard and has a natural awareness of the potential of the resulting image.
I like to capitalize it, it looks more congruous in a sentence:
"RAW or JPEG", as opposed to "raw or JPEG".
But that's just me.
When I shoot in RAW, I am a photographer.
Shooting RAW is a capital idea!

That means that those of us who do not shoot in RAW are not photographers??

Only people who use raw and are very proud of it capitalize it - for them it eludes to the great importance of it !
Raw isn't just a file format, it's a way of life. RAW is one of the true wonders of modern digital photography. Many times while editing my RAW files, I begin to see my connection to the fabric of the universe.

Did you possibly miss the <tongue-in-cheek> humor?
because lower case raw would refer to meat or vegetables
I wonder if admin would consider a new sub forum, one that actually limits it's discussions to photography.
Just a thought.
No way!

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. Of course, others here with more expertise may offer a clearer opinion.
