Kent, I agreevRAW allows so much more capability and control to edit. I experimented with taking RAW but as it takes time to edit photos decided that for the most part jpeg works just fine. I decided that for those special photo shoots that I would use RAW, like weddings where the lighting cannot always be controlled

Great example. Once I started shooting RAW I never went back. I have so much more freedom and interesting effects that I can do in RAW that I cannot do with JPEG images. I am by no means a pro, but I am very precise about what I think is a good photo compared to a bad photo. It is much easier for me to shoot RAW and not have to denoise the image with a plug-in filter.

Yes, that’s a great idea, if you can remember to switch back. I did that quite some time ago, until I did a whole client shoot in JPG. Now I’m all RAW. ;)

Thanks for this Kent! Can I process RAW photos in LightRoom?

I choose depending on purpose. For a long time I always shot RAW, and still do for anything that needs refinement like a wedding.

For fast-moving corporate and social events where photos will not be printed, however, I have started shooting JPG. For example, at a recent conference I regularly loaded pics to an iPad, which was hooked up to a booth display to run photos in a slideshow. The JPGs were way easier and faster to work with than RAWs.

I’ve also noticed that my D700 renders nice JPGs in low-light conditions, which can be a good shortcut in low-return (eg, no prints) shoots.
