The problem I have with this post (although I agree with the point being made) is that the comparison is between two different images rather than the RAW and JPG image made at the same time. (Remember every RAW image has a JPG embedded).
I wish there were a button to push that would force people to make logically sound arguments in support of their positions rather than comparing apples to oranges and skewing things based on bad logic.

Here's the image...
In the JPEG the shadow detail at the base is seemingly lost and some of the highlights are blown. If anyone wants to take this image and make the right side match the left then I may have to eat my words. |
