RAW vs. JPEG?
#7

Petographer Wrote:Gee. That sounds the opposite from what I said. It doesn't make sense that a jpg has more colour information than raw as Herschel Mair puts it.:/ Oh well, he's the professor.:|
I must admit that particular list is highly technical and often does my head in, which is why I come and go from there and only take it in small doses! The list is owned and managed by Prof. Andrew Davidhazy, Dept of Imaging and Photographic Technology at The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) NY so they sometimes get very technical, but I imagine they're usually more or less correct ..... I suppose. Big Grin

Basically, as I understand it, the sensor interprets the image in B/W and the colours are 'mixed' later -- and RAW gives you greater control over mixing those colours and, as it's RAW, you're not degrading anything as you do your mixing.
