Revisiting RAW vs. JPG

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

It seems that recently I’ve started moving back to using JPG formats for my images. Two months into this blog, and I’ve realized that (for the web, at least), I never start post-processing from the RAW image. That’s partly because the JPG conversion on the sd500 is excellent – it usually takes me much more work in Adobe RAW & Photoshop to get to the same point (which usually means tweaking the black point, adding some fill light, adjusting contrast, and adding sharpness).

RAW is still the far superior format and I should use it exclusively. I’m just finding that my actual use doesn’t require it.
