I have learned that using both is better. By taking two photos, I have more to play with. JPEG gives me fine photos. RAW gives me FINE photos. Which do you prefer and why?

If you look at the Raw file it will be larger then the JPG file. I use Raw and save them into Tiffs just so I don't lose much in image processing, Jpgs are compressed by the camera to save space so you can take more photos, so there is some image loss in printing, that’s about the only difference I believe.

Traci_Ann I'm a masochist  More info | Jul 03, 2006 02:40 | #5 I typically use just RAW only sometimes I will use RAW+jpeg when I just want quick photos or I am letting someone else use my camera. I use RAW because I want as much control as possible in how my shots turn out, not what the camera thinks is the proper amount of sharpening or saturation. etc... Sevas Tra

I use RSP and very seldom need to do anything else in PSE4. I will keep using RSP until Adobe states their final intentions, I only hope it is affordable. Mike R

Some use this mode so that they can get a quick hi-res preview of their images during post processing. I personally don't understand this, as I like to make the most of my 4GB's of CompactFlash and Adobe RAW Processor lets you zoom in to 100% easily enough. Luke

The older ones (300D, 10D, D60, D30) don't have this, but...: with all Canon DSLR's, inside the RAW file, there is always a JPEG preview image, which you can extract with the Canon software. On the 10D, you can even set the size and compression of the embedded JPEG image (in a custom function on the camera). Canon EOS 5D Mark III
