Absolutely not as dry and cut. If you already have captured an image properly then you don't need do drastic post production but you can still do quite a lot with JPG. Sure Raw has WAY more leeway with exposure and more stops for color but if you are satisfied with how your camera handles JPEGs (also selecting good picture profile helps) then you only need to do small touch ups. With JPG you are more locked into the picture you took and raw is more flexible, im not denying that. I am saying JPEGs still have a good amount of editing possibilities especially if you take good quality JPEGs. The better picture you take "in the field" the less time you need to use in post.
What if i am going to do a car shoot for facebook sale post, and i dont want to edit every photo, i just want to put the same filter on all the photos so they have the same theme?
@@1337soundeZ I can’t speak to every camera but Nikon has an option to take both a RAW photo and a JPEG at the same time. This takes up more memory of course but it allows you to edit the RAW if you want, and gives you a JPEG that’s ready to go (more or less)
@whole27 Depends on the photo and how much the compression software can save. For me, it's about 7 times larger for RAW for same scene. But I'm not expert so others can probably answer better. Just throwing in my 2 cents.
When you brightened up that cliff and all the details appeared out of nowhere it blew my mind! I've ordered my first DSLR and lens today, I'll definitely be shooting raw! Thanks Nemanja!
@@NemanjaSekulic thanks! I'm not in a position to spend a lot of money so I ordered a used nikon d3200 and AF-S 35mm 1.8g lens, is this a capable camera for learning the basics and getting comfortable with manual?
all the noise appeared :) i like to have a format something between jpg and raw: noise reduction with little sharpening, but preserve native WB and 10-12-14bit dynamic range.
I'm an old fart and my photography dates back to the film days of the 60's. Basically with film you have to get it right or as right as possible, I was pretty good at this and that skill has been carried over to Digital photography. I shoot jpeg photos mostly and I have no complaints and it seems that no one else have any complaints. We each get what we want from photography, I am satisfied with my results.
Because you need to edit RAW files to get a good photograph. Not everyone's a photo editor as well. Most people just want to take beautiful photos, and leave it at that.
RAW format is really amazing and its disadvantages are nothing in compared to that of the JPEG format. RAW is far more better than JPEG. Thanks for such an amazing explanation !!!!
Oh, thank you Nemanja! As a former physicist and computer graphics professional before seriously taking up photography in retirement, the differences were clear to me. But, how to explain them to nonscientists? Hopefully the "camera brand X has better color science than brand Y" crowd won't discover your heresy. However, since they may attack you through moral arguments, I do want to suggest that the difference is important even when you haven't made some exposure or initial white balance mistake. There are valid artistic and even professional reasons to do color toning in post-production, even if you "got it exactly right in camera". One technical point. The big irreversible step is when you truncate from 12 to 15 bits to 8 bits. The entire game here, as you pointed out, is to delay that truncation as much as possible, to just before you send out the final product. Since your eye separates red, green, and blue the total number of colors is less important than the number of shades of each primary color. So, JPEG gives you 2^8 or 256 shades of, say, red. 14-bit raw gives you 16,000 shades of red. If you do anything like change the white balance or especially use tone curves, vibrance, or clarity adjustments then you start to stretch and compress the distances between adjacent shades. Suddenly, something that was too small to see becomes visible as an artifact, as your examples showed. My moment of truth was about two years after I bought a Canon Rebel XSi. I knew that it had an option for raw output, but I couldn't be bothered. I took a trip to Alaska, which because of life's little surprises, turned out to be a trip of a lifetime. After I came back, I figured out how to do raw and largely converted. After two years of learning, I realized that my Alaska pictures could be vastly improved by post processing. I started using my new skills on them, and very quickly ran into the problems you showed. So, my Alaska pictures, taken in weather conditions that professional photographers would have killed to experience, remain forever frozen in amateurland. I see nothing wrong with recording both JPEG and raw, but keep the original data as well for your unique images, in case you later grow as a photographer or artist.
Hi Stuart, I completely agree with you. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Sometimes I like to go through my old raw files and retouch them again, with some new skills that I got in the meantime. Have fun and have a great week!
@@NemanjaSekulic, thank you for your support. I think that your channel is a big contribution to photographic education. I keep telling my friends about your channel.
There's an old saying that goes something like: "When the student is ready, a teacher appears." I know I'm late to this party, but I started to research raw format and came across this great video. It's what the Internet promised to do: make the knowledge of others available to anyone. Well-done. Thanks.
Wow, the difference is incredible! I just bought my first DSLR and I'm so glad I stumbled across this video, not played around with settings much so far but after watching this I've just switched to RAW! Thank you.
I seriously love the enthusiasm that you bring to every single video. I love the way you explain things and I love the little bits of humor you throw in your videos! You are seriously the best Creator I have ever come across. I can not express my gratitude for you continuously posting amazing videos.
I spent a whole month shooting on JPEG on my d7500 with a variety of lenses. I learned I lost a LOT of detail in images, especially when you zoom in and pixel peep. The lost in quality is very noticeable. I turn on RAW and images begin to look sharper, more detail, and lighting looks a lot better (contrast and colors).
First I learned something from this video. Essentials are however: 1. One will need editing software to make RAW file even usable in the browser or for the printing. JPEG is a ready image. 2. RAWs are in the magnitude of 5 times bigger than JPEG and not for immediate use on Instagram or social sites. 3. If you have an understanding of OR good control over exposure and prefer natural light photography you can rely upon JPEG, for RAW you need to be fully aware of the editing process. And in cases where post-processing is needed RAW is essential. 4. RAW + jpeg is the way. With RAW you can RECOVER details: It is a safety mechanism, so essential to know. 5. An underexposed picture is always worse than an overexposed one (except in low light portrait), as you will introduce noise by increasing the brightness of an under-exposed image. So use exposure compensation mechanism while shooting itself.
I agree on he first four poins, but in my opinion a (slightly) underexposed picture is better than a (slightly) overexposed one, because you can recover those shadows (of course you will get noise), but once your highlights go completely white, you can't restore the details in there.
@@NoIDeaSynchro You are right, I missed this point and just wrote low light situation. Yes, shades do constitute an important part and will give a dramatic impact. I don't under-estimate the post-processing and I have 3 such tools like Photoshop, Luminar 3 and Nikon Capture NX-D. I still prefer learning and mastering the exposure triangle and capability of each camera I would use. They provide many things.
Thank you so much! I'm new to photography and my photos were coming out too dark and i couldn't fix them. Come to find i was shooting in jpeg. I honestly thought that taking a picture with fewer or no edits was better than editing a photo that looks unrealistic. You taught me something new. Thank you
Naleteo na ovaj klip slucajno, gledam kako je full brat objasnio, vrhunski. Ajde da udjem na kanal da vidim sta ima jos od snimaka, koliko ga ljudi prati, tek vidim da je u pitanju nas covek. Odusevljenje jos vece, svaka cast! :D
I wondered for so long as to why my photos looked like shit post-production. Now I know. I feel this slight nuance (paired with learning photo-editing programs) is the step from amateur to beyond. Grateful I found a video under 20 minutes that explained everything in detail and Nemanja, you're a personable and knowledgeable guy. I appreciate that, so thank you for opening my eyes to over 4,000 colors and keep up the awesome work!
I was not intended to learn the differences between the RAW & JPEG, but I just saw your video and now I'm very happy that I learned it in an easy way. Very nice.
Тако је брате, сви ти разлози које си навео на крају видеа су занемарљиви у односу на оно што добијаш од RAW фајлова. Иако се разумијем у све то, увијек је добро погледати нечију другу рецензију, одличан клип!
Great video! I’m an amateur photographer and just decided to start shooting jn RAW. This video made me EXCITED to shoot in RAW! Thank you for showing side by side examples! There’s a clear advantage!
I like your comparison of RAWs and JPEGs. I personally use JPEGs about 90% of the time. For me, RAWs only make sence for really hard post production changes. Photography is in my opinion more the moment you take a picture. Right exposure, correct white balance. Most of my photos do not need to get edited that hard. Anyways, I think your extreme examples shew the difference very well. And if I need to take a photo in situations where a high dynamic range is nessecary, I highly prefer shooting RAW instead of an in camera HDR. All in all your video made me think about RAWs again. Thanks for the interesting video! Bye :)
Not quite. In workloads where a fast turnaround time isn't all that important, RAW files all the way, but if you work for an agency that requires a fast turnaround time, you must shoot jpeg. No specialized software is required to it, and they are lightweight enough that posting them isn't going to take up that much bandwidth. Plus, a lot of these pictures that these sorts of jobs takes usually won't be in large prints. They'll either be used for magazines or websites, where things like compression artifacts are more likely to be hidden by the low resolution of the print or final image. Hell, let's throw street photography into the mix, let's say you're a witness to a crime, you try your damndest to get a picture of the perp or their license plate, police will NEED that image, and you don't want to make them wait any longer than necessary because you had your camera set to raw only.
@@ZeldagigafanMatthew raw files include a .jpg image. That's what the screen shows you and can normally be sent to your phone these days. Then, if it isnsuch an intense situation, it might have been a challenge to get is exposed properly. Also, the qualitybof the evidence might be improved when you are able to produce a raw file.
Thank you very much, Nemanja! Now only RAW+JPEG !! Very usefull information. Have to tell you that i am from Russia, i've seen lots of russian vids about photography and photoshop but only your tutorials make me clearly understand what to do. Thank you very much again!
*Is it Photoshop?* I'm just using "Photos" on an older Mac right now and the eyedropper doesn't work quite the same way. In the meantime this video has totally taught me something I really needed to know about editing raw photos! TY
hi nemanja. thank you for a beautiful video. i started photography in october 2018. and since then i was using jpeg fine , as i had no software to convert raw to jpeg or even opne them. but i was always wanted to shoot in raw and now after your video i think i have made my mind and will start shooting raw when i have space and time. its very clear how good i caan treat my photos later on with raw. so thank you for inspiring me to take up raw now which is a good thing. god bless.
RAW vs JPEG It's just like ordering pizza from leading brands Pizza Hut or Domino's etc. vs buying raw ingredients like flour, seasoning, tomatoes for making sauce etc and making pizza at home from scratch. Newbees like readymade cooked food but pros know how to cook their own food the better way. By pizza analogy, we can achieve better or say more desired results if we know the thing. Or worse, it may make the pizza unusable for consumption. But all must try their hands once in the path of becoming a pro.
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! I'm basically a JPEG kind of guy doing street photography (a lot in black and white) but I now also see the advantages of RAW format...thanks again!
I came on to this video because I'm trying to decide a purchase between DJI drones - specifically the Mini SE vs Mini 2. The SE only takes photos in JPEG, while the Mini 2 takes raw. This comparison was great! Super quick and you clearly know what you're doing which made it easy to follow. Only wish was there was a color editing comparison. Great video nonetheless, thanks for this.
Totally agree. But one more advantage of jpeg files is compatibility: they can be edited in many programs. There are few options for editing raw files.
@@ekevanderzee9538 If they want photos right away yes I do. Most of my work needs very little post editing and they can ask for any They want edited. That is for event photos, portraits get worked before delivery.
Even if you don't do any large post processing now, it's generally a good idea to keep the RAW files, for just in case. A good, free RAW editor is RAWTherapee... no need to spend a ton of money on LR.
Excellent video-- especially showing the details that RAW lets you pull out of dark areas. One advantage of JPEG that wasn't mentioned, however, is you can get more continuous shots off in the same amount of time. Not a biggie for me, but it is an overlooked advantage.
For JPG image: it must do everything when you shoot photo - camera setting - catch good time for lights if natural - choose best postition don't think about editing
6:40 somehow I expected Hagrid (from Harry Potter's movies) to come insade your studio and say: You are a wizard Nemanja! Becouse what you just made, pure magic!
This video is a good example of how RAW comes to the rescue when you take a photo with the wrong settings to begin with. If you take the same photo with the right settings, you won't need the RAW file. Some people don't realise how important it is to learn how to use your camera, especially adjusting the default settings, e.g. on my Panasonic, I had to change the default settings, reducing the shadows and sharpness a lot and drastically increasing the colour saturation. This made a massive difference, and then I didn't need the RAW file any more.
Incredible value for content ! Your entire side by side comparison is very impressive, and very well made. We automatically realise how HUGE of an impact RAW files make, and I’m happy to know my photography skills will be massively impacted. Thanks again, you earned a loyal subscriber ! 😉

Thanks so much for the sharing! I will take my first raw photo this afternoon after watching your video.
this dude competely took over that photo. I'm surprised that he was able to make the raw file usable in SECONDS!
Crank it to the max!
Thank you very much, Nemanja!
Now only RAW+JPEG !!
Very usefull information.
Have to tell you that i am from Russia, i've seen lots of russian vids about photography and photoshop but only your tutorials make me clearly understand what to do.
Thank you very much again!
You're very welcome. Greetings to Russia 😊
*Is it Photoshop?* I'm just using "Photos" on an older Mac right now and the eyedropper doesn't work quite the same way. In the meantime this video has totally taught me something I really needed to know about editing raw photos! TY
Small and precise explanation. Way to go for quick learning.
hi nemanja. thank you for a beautiful video. i started photography in october 2018. and since then i was using jpeg fine , as i had no software to convert raw to jpeg or even opne them. but i was always wanted to shoot in raw and now after your video i think i have made my mind and will start shooting raw when i have space and time. its very clear how good i caan treat my photos later on with raw. so thank you for inspiring me to take up raw now which is a good thing. god bless.
You're very welcome. Have fun with your camera!
Probably the best video on this topic on RUclips!
Perfect comparison to food!
I explained it like that to my friend and he understood it :D
I'm glad that you like it 😊
Excellent overview of the two file formats. Thanks for posting. I have subscribed. Cheers - from New Zealand 😎👍

RAW vs JPEG
It's just like ordering pizza from leading brands Pizza Hut or Domino's etc. vs buying raw ingredients like flour, seasoning, tomatoes for making sauce etc and making pizza at home from scratch.
Newbees like readymade cooked food but pros know how to cook their own food the better way.
By pizza analogy, we can achieve better or say more desired results if we know the thing. Or worse, it may make the pizza unusable for consumption. But all must try their hands once in the path of becoming a pro.
Thanks for explaining in simple terms the differences and advantages of each format. Useful as well as educational.
You're very welcome.
now i understand ; raw is like ms word and jpeg is like a pdf copy
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! I'm basically a JPEG kind of guy doing street photography (a lot in black and white) but I now also see the advantages of RAW format...thanks again!
raw vdeo vs compressed video even makes bigger difference than still images.
0 dislikes... Cool video man!!!
Thanks!
I came on to this video because I'm trying to decide a purchase between DJI drones - specifically the Mini SE vs Mini 2. The SE only takes photos in JPEG, while the Mini 2 takes raw. This comparison was great! Super quick and you clearly know what you're doing which made it easy to follow. Only wish was there was a color editing comparison. Great video nonetheless, thanks for this.
"I will go and make a tea"... case closed. ROFL! Nice one, great video! Thank you.
You're very welcome 😊
Totally agree. But one more advantage of jpeg files is compatibility: they can be edited in many programs. There are few options for editing raw files.
How could you not like this video. Thumbs up bro
Thanks 😉
This really is the best video about raw vs jpeg. Thanks so much!!
You're very welcome.
Thank you for this video. I understand the whole thing.
You're very welcome.
Great way to talk about how different they are. Makes a lot of sense!
I'm glad that you like it.
I always shoot in dual mode. Both JPEG and RAW. My clients can have a copy of the JPEGs but any post-processing is done on the RAW files.
So you give them uncompleted work?
@@ekevanderzee9538 If they want photos right away yes I do. Most of my work needs very little post editing and they can ask for any They want edited. That is for event photos, portraits get worked before delivery.
Thanks, now I know the difference between raw and jpeg....you the man!!!
You're very welcome.
Thats an amazing explaining ! Thanks alot ! Now i know whats the difference between RAW and JPEG files !!
You're very welcome.
This video helped me alot to understand the difference between raw and jpeg as a new beginner in photography
Just depends on how much post processing you do whether to shoot raw or jpeg.
Even if you don't do any large post processing now, it's generally a good idea to keep the RAW files, for just in case. A good, free RAW editor is RAWTherapee... no need to spend a ton of money on LR.
@@soiledhalo2296 I use RAW and JPEG. RAW files just take up to much disk space if you shoot a lot of pics.
I agree
Excellent video-- especially showing the details that RAW lets you pull out of dark areas. One advantage of JPEG that wasn't mentioned, however, is you can get more continuous shots off in the same amount of time. Not a biggie for me, but it is an overlooked advantage.
Thanks David. Yes you are right about continuous shots.
Thanks you Very Much.... I never shooted Raw.... But from now on.... I will but I think I should shoot Raws...♥️
You're very welcome. Have fun with your RAW files.
For JPG image: it must do everything when you shoot photo
- camera setting
- catch good time for lights if natural
- choose best postition
don't think about editing
Totally agree with you bud🙌🏻
Thank you Nemanja, this really helped me understand Raw files. I will start shooting in Raw now. Thanks you.
You're very welcome.
@@NemanjaSekulic What size SD Card do you recommend I get for shooting raw? I know the files are a lot bigger. Would a 64GB large enough?
6:40 somehow I expected Hagrid (from Harry Potter's movies) to come insade your studio and say: You are a wizard Nemanja! Becouse what you just made, pure magic!
😊😊😊 Thanks a lot Nik!
Brilliant tutorial!! Feel more comfortable thanks to your video about shooting in RAW!! THANK YOU
You look like Chelsea x-player Eden Hazard 😅
😂
he even have his accent
Eden Hazard quits football to start photography...
Lol. True
@@omareladlani the way he is playing at the moment , i think he migh lol
This video is a good example of how RAW comes to the rescue when you take a photo with the wrong settings to begin with. If you take the same photo with the right settings, you won't need the RAW file. Some people don't realise how important it is to learn how to use your camera, especially adjusting the default settings, e.g. on my Panasonic, I had to change the default settings, reducing the shadows and sharpness a lot and drastically increasing the colour saturation. This made a massive difference, and then I didn't need the RAW file any more.
Only u say this.No one in the world would agree
Row row row your boat, gently down the stream. Great comparison, thank you. ;)
Incredible value for content ! Your entire side by side comparison is very impressive, and very well made. We automatically realise how HUGE of an impact RAW files make, and I’m happy to know my photography skills will be massively impacted. Thanks again, you earned a loyal subscriber ! 😉
dobar, pratio sam i strance na ovu temu, ali nisam našao ovako poređenje gde se odmah vidi razlika.
Hvala! Drago mi je da ti se sviđa.
that raw food example is such a good example, thank you!
Shame that Adobe dropped support for CS6 and now you have to convert to DNG first before using the Camera Raw plugin
what about adobe camera raw plugin?
kerenbanget its a native plugin for photoshop. I think for Lightroom also. Our man Thomas Knoll did a work of genius on that one 😂
Thats the first video i understand, now i know whats the diverence between JPEG and RAW! Thanks so much! Greetings from Germany! =)
You're very welcome 😊
Seems we lives completely in processed world....
