But if we're being formal and writing consistently for posterity and understanding by the broadest audience, there are standards to be maintained. W cn tk th vwls t f sntnce nd stll ndrstnd t. (We can take the vowels out of a sentence and still understand it.) But it takes our brains a while to process it. Who wants to waste time translating and risk confusion?

All you have to do to see the importance of consistency is read literature written hundreds of years ago. Chances are, there are nearly as many footnotes in a modern printing of those old books as there are original author's words. Those footnotes explain the spellings, the idioms, the cultural context, the structural inconsistencies, and the subtextual references that would otherwise be lost in the past.

There will never bs consistency over long periods of time...someone always has a "better" idea

and what gets output after you shoot in RAW? A JPEG, (so, I usually skip the first step.)

Does RAW stand for 3 words?

A RAW file is lossless, meaning it captures uncompressed data from your camera sensor. Sometimes referred to as a digital negative, you can think of a RAW file as the raw “ingredients” of a photo that will need to be processed in order to bring out the picture's full potential.

And Architect1776, you really do know the answer don't you, I am surprised you are trolling today. You must really be bored out of your mind. Hope your day improves quickly.

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.


LOL , I gotta remember this one.

So does an Italian photographer shoot in CRUDO, a German in ROH, a Russian in сырой or a Japanese in 生? Or are we just RAW?

No they are NOT. One of something is never plural (except in the UK). "GB", "MP", "USD" etc are not automatically plural.

Now, shall we try enumerating deer ?

Yes, 1 Gigabytes
yes, 1 Megapixels
and yes, 1.50 US Dollars

No dear....

Perception.....

I would imagine they do...
They would use their prior existing language word for RAW.
It's not a unique English word, like photography, that had no prior existing word in their language and they adapted the English word.
Photography:
Italian: fotografia
German: Fotografie
Russian: fotografiya

Other than Charge Coupled Device (CCD)?
In the context you quoted (Nikon CCD-Color Mode), no idea what they mean...
Unless they are trying to impress people.

According to his tongue-and-cheek statement, correct.

(SO many people are deadly serious.)
