3 Advantages of a RAW
- The 8-bit jpeg format can contain a maximum of 16 million colors (256 shades each of red, green, and blue). Not bad, I suppose.
- Raw files record and retain all the information captured by the sensor; this takes maximum advantage of any given camera’s dynamic range capabilities — the ability to accurately record the subtle transitions between the lightest and darkest parts of a scene. This translates into properly exposed highlights and shadows that don’t lose detail.
- Since raw files are lossless/uncompressed files, they don’t exhibit any of the jpeg-related compression artifacts that can really distract from the aesthetic quality of an image.
- Although shooting in RAW gives us more flexibility to make adjustments, this will make for a slightly longer workflow. As mentioned before, RAW images need to be processed and then converted to JPEG for HDR processing.
- Since the images are already processed and are ready to be directly taken into your HDR processing software, shooting JPEG bracketed images is generally a slightly easier workflow. '
- JPEG images are much smaller than RAW images and therefore consume a lot less storage and need much less processing power.
- Smaller size also means faster and more efficient backups.
