Wow, I never knew there was such a big difference. I’ve been doing photography for about a month now and I shoot in low light a lot. I’ve been shooting in jpeg this whole time and hate how some pics would come out. Gonna switch to RAW now so I can have full control over the outcome and in post production. Thanks for the clear explanation!
Thank you for this tutorial! I appreciate the honest opinion and Information you gave me! I just got my DSLR a week ago so I’m still learning the ropes to photography. You just got yourself another subscriber and a like on this video!
Wow... I think this is one of the best composed and executed explanations I've seen on RUclips. And I'm talking overall, not just in regards to photography. Well done my friend.
I've never really known what raw was but always used it on my camera and phones because I saw the files were bigger and assumed that meant higher quality but you've explained it just perfect; thank you!
Thanks a lot. You should try to shoot in both JPEG + RAW and then start by playing around with your RAW files. When I first started what I used to do is try get my RAW files to look like my JPEGs with the cameras inbuilt settings, really good practice.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK!!!!!!!!!!!! This answered so many of my questions. I have a Wedding to shoot today and i will be using one camera on RAW and one on JPEG+Raw
Very good explanation,easy to follow . I'm still debating with myself if I want to go with all this edited stuff or be the photographer like I use to be: I either get the shot right or I don't!
I shoot sports photos for the local high school. JPEG works fine for me. The 8 X 10 prints I get from a 20 MP crop camera are far sharper than prints I have from film.
Jpeg is only perceptibly lossy if you compress it too much. You won't be able to tell what was lost if you set the jpeg to fine, even zoomed into 100%. Also, cameras are wayyy better at processing jpegs -- the colour saturation, clarity, sharpness, etc. -- than they used to be. Professionals such as Ken Rockwell swear by jpeg! Also the 14 bit to 8 bit thing is poorly understood. From Ken Rockwell's website: "RAW is 12-bit linear, and JPG is 8-bit log, gamma corrected, or some other non-linear transform derived from the 12-bit linear data. Thus in the shadows where this might matter the two are the same, since the full 12-bit resolution in the dark areas is preserved by the non-linear coding. Even if the two formats differed in dark resolution the sensor noise is still greater than one LSB anyway making it a moot point". Ken's view aside, I used to be all for RAW because of all the rumours out there, but now I'm all for taking more photos -- and learning to use my camera to take better photos without the need for RAW. One of the biggest things from my experience is not using the default settings on your camera. For example, on my Panasonic, I needed to increase the default colour saturation and reduce the sharpness, and -- believe it or not -- increase the shadows. This made the subject of the photo more obvious, and all of a suddent the photos looked amazing. No more hours of my life lost from post-processing. See Ken Rockwell's website for more on the RAW vs JPEG debate.
I noticed the examples you presented for out of camera photos were exactly the same. How is that possible when the JPEGs process the images, and the RAW files are unprocessed? Reason why I ask is because my biggest gripe with shooting in raw is that my RAW files look wildly different than how I intended the image to look (usually extremely underexposed, and de-saturated). It’s kind of frustrating to see the images so off, when you spend a good amount of time adjusting the settings to look a certain way. Am I the only one who feels like this?
I would say wedding photography jpeg because you have a histogram and file sizes are small enough to shoot very many images, also the histogram is vital if the bride is in white, the groom in black and its a bright sunny day it is all too easy to over or under expose slightly but the histogram will show you that clearly, also weddings have a time schedual to get the finished product to the couple, if you shoot 1,000 images raw you have made a rod for your own back. If however you are shooting landscapes where you will not be shooting very many images, everything is more chilled and you can spend time processing the images to get the very best quality.
Panspermia Hunter I can argue that landscape photography does take a lot of pictures. For an example, a bride and her groom compared to wildlife animals. Both wedding and landscape photography, you need to take as many pictures to get the right shot. Bride and groom walking down the aisle, compared to the sun set and you want to capture a wolf in your foreground, both wedding and landscape wildlife photography will have to take a lot of pictures. You will have to spend time in both jpeg and raw on your computer editing anyways. So the speed of getting the job done is based on your skills, how fast you can edit and make the image or video top quality, and your computer specs. The better your computer specs, the faster your editing software will render the project and you can open up multiple software and multi task. I have a dual screen monitor set up. I edit on one screen, once it’s done, let it render and than move to my 2nd screen, edit another file. Have everything organize in a folder so once it’s done, copy and paste. USB 3.0 and a SSD will make it quick to read and write. Or if a client prefer DVD, usually recommend Blu Ray as it hold more space. Blu Ray is cheap now a days so if they don’t have one, it’s not much to get one
why are you saying that raw requires more post processing than jpeg. if you want to alter the original shot you're gonna have to do work in post either way.
hmmm don't know. Iv'e been using raw for a quite a while now but maybe will atleast test jpeg a while because with my nikon d5300 for bird photography you can't shoot so many frames a second meanwhile with jpegyou can photograph/take way more photos in one shutter hold but great video! and i'm usually not editing them a lot with lightroom so i will atleast just test jpeg for now
Get it right in the camera. Remember your looking at a jpeg on your camera you can . A just if you know your camera. Not one person has ever ask me is that jpeg or Raw image.
What if you're just a beginner starting off? Would it be better to focus on nailing your composition, exposure, etc. before fiddling with editing software, etc. or focus on learning the ntire workflow in a single go?
Jimbo of San Diego; After you have shot in raw and have made your adjustments in your photo, will you lose your work changing your photo to jpeg? Thanks in advance
Question, If I shoot the image in RAW and then edit it. Will I keep the high quality edit look when I save it as a Jpeg? The image has to be Jpeg in order to save and share right?
No you do not, my advice would be to start off with Adobe Lightroom, it's a lot simpler for basic retouching and you can use it with adobe cloud for a monthly fee.
It’s not wrong at all, however just know that you will not have complete control of your photography. You’re probably better off with a really good flagship smartphone camera with a good camera app with manual controls.
I didn’t buy an expensive camera to shoot with jpeg ...
Wow man you just went banm right to the point,i like that so i'll continue shooting RAW!
Wow, I never knew there was such a big difference. I’ve been doing photography for about a month now and I shoot in low light a lot. I’ve been shooting in jpeg this whole time and hate how some pics would come out. Gonna switch to RAW now so I can have full control over the outcome and in post production. Thanks for the clear explanation!
it is a pleasure to come across a youtube channel with so many intelligent comments. refreshing.
Well explained, good job man
Just got my first DSLR and I'm getting started on the basics.
Thank you for this tutorial! I appreciate the honest opinion and Information you gave me! I just got my DSLR a week ago so I’m still learning the ropes to photography. You just got yourself another subscriber and a like on this video!
Since I transfer to Lightroom on my phone from my DSLR sometimes I feel it’s worth the extra minute or two.
Best explanation I've seen yet. Thank you
You did a real nice job with this.
Lot's of info for a beginner without all the opinions.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
Wow... I think this is one of the best composed and executed explanations I've seen on RUclips. And I'm talking overall, not just in regards to photography. Well done my friend.

Good one yo straight to the point and clear concise information
Great and easy to understand explanation. One of the best in youtube on this subject. Keep it up bro'
Great video! I have always shot in JPEG as I simply don't have the time to spend editing RAW images

Thank you for giving Me the exact information I need!
Thank you very much for presenting this. I was able to follow and understand. I have subscribed.
Yooooo this video was so damn helpful !! Thanks !
For me this Vid' was about "Understanding" (not film or digital) Thank you for a very helpful insight that compares RAW & JPG. That's it :)
Clear and to the point, a helpful video. Thank you!
This was awesome!!! Thank you Sir
Very good video and well explained! Thank you!
Just the information I was after and so well explained. Well done and thanks.
I have a Sony dsc hx400v and only has fine and standard, I prefer the more raw posible, so which should I use?
None of those options are closer to RAW. They're both just JPEG, sorry buddy.
Jpeg is only perceptibly lossy if you compress it too much. You won't be able to tell what was lost if you set the jpeg to fine, even zoomed into 100%.

Amazing! Very useful and easy to understand for beginners. Thanks 👍🏻
Should I shoot only RAW? or RAW + JPEG? I've been shooting RAW + JPEG and it uses a lot of space in my computer's storage....
Very good video! Thank you and God bless brother.
+astro guy79 Thanks a lot buddy, appreciate it!
I agree with Malik (below). Excellent presentation, and I do prefer the hands on/ mindful part of a 35mm camera.
I noticed the examples you presented for out of camera photos were exactly the same. How is that possible when the JPEGs process the images, and the RAW files are unprocessed? Reason why I ask is because my biggest gripe with shooting in raw is that my RAW files look wildly different than how I intended the image to look (usually extremely underexposed, and de-saturated).

Very informative, subbed!
Very nice tutorial! keep up the good work :)
When shooting raw+jpeg are you supposed to end up with 2 pictures? I only get one
Yes you should have 2 files. A JPEG file and a RAW file.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I learned so much in a few minutes!
Great video! Straight to the point.
hmmm don't know. Iv'e been using raw for a quite a while now but maybe will atleast test jpeg a while because with my nikon d5300 for bird photography you can't shoot so many frames a second meanwhile with jpegyou can photograph/take way more photos in one shutter hold but great video!
and i'm usually not editing them a lot with lightroom so i will atleast just test jpeg for now
Fantastic video, thank you so much man!
Really well explained. Thanks!
Thank you for this great tutorial. 👍
Seriously who else thought he was going to talk about that image on the tv....
Get it right in the camera. Remember your looking at a jpeg on your camera you can . A just if you know your camera. Not one person has ever ask me is that jpeg or Raw image.
Great video man!
Thank you very helpful!
Excellent info !
thanks. good explained
Why is JPEG even an option? Get a phone if you want to take JPEG images...
What if you're just a beginner starting off? Would it be better to focus on nailing your composition, exposure, etc. before fiddling with editing software, etc. or focus on learning the ntire workflow in a single go?
Definitely focus on your composition, and the basics first. The rest comes after.
What a great video!! Thank you!!
Jimbo of San Diego; After you have shot in raw and have made your adjustments in your photo, will you lose your work changing your photo to jpeg? Thanks in advance
No, you will not. The changes you made will essentially be "baked" into the JPEG file.
Will image quality change when you convert raw to jpeg. What changes when you do that?
what program should i use when i don't have a lot of money for lightroom etc
That is why thepiratebay.org exists
Question, If I shoot the image in RAW and then edit it. Will I keep the high quality edit look when I save it as a Jpeg? The image has to be Jpeg in order to save and share right?
The changes will be saved on the JPEG file.
Great video bro, just wanted to ask, is there any way to shoot raw on the xa1 ultra? Thanks
Nice work! What software do you use to process RAW files?
Thanks, I use Adobe Lightroom.
Nice video! It was very helpful.
Should I shoot in RAW + JPEG fine, normal or basic?
I recommend RAW + Fine, takes up more space but gives you high quality JPEGS.
Great video, thanks a lot....
thank you sir.
Great video!
good explained✌
Nice lesson. Thanks.
Why raw pic look fussy in destok?
Thank you for sharing! :)
are u raheem sterling
very nice video👌
Can we open Raw files in my laptop without processing?
You can only open them in photo editing software such as photoshop and lightroom.
Thank bro
Good explain
Nice one....thanks man🤙🏻
thank you, very helpful
I'm sold!

Loved the way he explained!!
Very excellent video!
thank you
very god info , thank you
Good video, next time let’s put on some big boy music.
RAW higher resolution?
Not higher resolution, but higher bit depth and more data/information. In other words uncompressed.
but also there are four pixels more available which are merged into one in JPEG
if i shoot in raw do i have to spend a ton of money on photoshop
No you do not, my advice would be to start off with Adobe Lightroom, it's a lot simpler for basic retouching and you can use it with adobe cloud for a monthly fee.
danny regan not money, but rather time 😂 you can watch free tutorials on RUclips 👍🏼
Then is it wrong to buy nikon coolpix p900 , bcoz there is no raw
It’s not wrong at all, however just know that you will not have complete control of your photography. You’re probably better off with a really good flagship smartphone camera with a good camera app with manual controls.
How to convert raw to jpeg then!?
I want to know that too 👌👍
@@fatiideltoro I can help you my lady!!
Download Nikon N-Dx and you can convert it after editing 🤗
@@KakashiHatake-fl7oc thank you
it was really useful
thanks man
TeriQ ? is this you ?

Thank you!!
You're very welcome Lene 🙂
love it

how can I shoot in both raw n jpeg.i don't have much time to process it. plz lemmno bro
What camera are you shooting with buddy?
Channel 8 Nikon d3300
Ror R I'm sure you've already figured it out but it should be in the camera settings marked as L+Raw
DeltaFilmAdventures thankyou brother for helping me figure it out
JPEG sucks
Thank you , very informative video.
