look at it this way. Would you rather work in thousands of color bands or 256? When you shoot jpeg, it compress like colors into 256 color bands. That's why RAW images look to be more color saturated, vibrant and sharper.

I've only recently started shooting in RAW (long story). Since I'm on pretty steep RAW learning curve, I have a question:
Assuming that the dynamic range of a photo falls within what JPEG can handle, and assuming that I get all technical aspects of the photo (WB, exposure, etc) perfectly correct, will there be any noticeable difference if I took the photo in RAW v. JPEG? |
