For years I've avoided shooting in RAW simply because I can't be bothered with the extensive workflow and the extortionate file sizes, but today I decided to give it a second chance. To my surprise, PS CS2 actually makes RAW processing quite easy and intuitive. Plus, since the 20D allows the user to shoot in Jpeg and RAW concurrently, I get the best of both worlds. ...Perhaps I'll start using RAW more often....

  • I can't shoot in anything but raw anymore. The freedom it give you is amazing, that and memory is cheap so why not. I hope you stick with it I think you'll find the positives outweigh the negatives.

  • wow really.



    the lack of a spot meter makes accurate metering impossible i think..



    i only shoot in raw because it holds much more details even a 4 or 5 stops underexposed picture could come out alright. (a bit noisy of course)



    i always think that shooting jpegs might save some time but if i lost a "masterpiece" just because i shot jpegs i would very much regret it..



    but i know some professional wedding photograhers such as Jessica Claire that only shoots jpegs and do a fantastic job.



    fantastic photographers such as you too.! =)

  • I prefer to shoot RAW primarily due to the white balance adjustment options. But my poor digital camera hasn't seen much use lately . . .



    In any case, I've recently discovered your site and I really admire your work. I've added you to my RSS feed.

  • Thank you for your comments; I was still a bit hesitant, but your words of encouragement forced me to go out again today for another attempt at RAW photography. Needless to say I was astounded by the results again!
