Jpeg vs raw?
A Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) - file is a lossy raster file format the compresses an image to make the file smaller. JPEG giles are some of the most popular and widely used image formats in the world.
A RAW file contains all the uncompressed and unprocessed image data captured by the sensors of a digital camera or scanner. They are also a tyupe of raster file format, but on that maintains lossless quality. RAW files are not images - they’re just large files filled with image data as it was captured.
The main difference between any JPEG and RAW file is the size. RAW files are significantly bigger than JPEG (and any other) image file format.
JPEG files are a much more manageable size because the data they contain is compressed.
The main advantage of shooting in RAW is that you end up with high-quality files to edit into the best possible image.
JPEG images are already processed, so can be quickly transferred from the camera and opened with editing software, or sent directly to someone, with not post processing. Their smaller size makes transfers fast and avoids any camers slowdown when shooting, too.
With RAW files, you need to factor in the time it will take to process and convert the file into a JPEG, PNG, or TIFF. This means storing two versions of the same image, which uses up more storage space, and leads to longer backups and transfers. It can also cause camera slowdown when shooting RAW, meaning yuour frame rate may fall.
