I shoot nothing but raw!!! Being a event photographer most my shots are done between 200 and 1200mm and lenses of this length can give a bit of colour distortion due to shooting from a great distance as any lighting between the lens and the subject is amplified,
I find shooting raw renders me more able to correct any of this distortion and also I find the images can be sharpened (via editing software) and remain natural as with jpeg when you increase sharpness u normaly increase noise aswell……

I use lightroom 2 and photoshop CS4 to edit my shots these both suport RAW and do a fantastic job.

Great reveiws by the way….

I always get so nervous to switch because that just means BIGGER hard drive space! lol!

I’m scared of the unknown…but look forward to what you do so then I can copy!

I’m learning about the RAW vs. jpg….one of those things you never think about or know unless someone tells you about it. Hopefully for my b-day i’ll get a “real” camera and can play w/ that… LOVE the pics and i’m glad to hear i’m not the only mama out there that serves chocolate cake for breakfast! ;O)

Great post and I’ve been using raw for quite awhile and love it. I see you got a nifty 50 mm. I love mine and that wide aperture helps so much with natural lighting. Love the pictures (I like chocolate ice cream for breakfast, mmmmm).

I love shooting in RAW! I started last August. I was nervous at first because I didn’t know anyone who shot in RAW and didn’t know anything about it - but it’s easy. The only problem is - the files are sooo big! I just had to buy an external hardrive - but it’s worth it right

I love RAW too - I’ve always shot in RAW unless my camera is in auto mode. I love having the control over my photos in RAW!!!

I remember you saying saturday in your presentation that you had an action for your storyboard. . . . where did you get it?

I haven’t made the switch to raw yet. It terrifies me for some reason. I hate how large the files are but the whole “extra room to post process” is very appealing.

As for your photos…I think those are your best yet. I love them!!

Hello Jessica & MomShots crew!

Thanks for calling my post “awesome!” You made my day!

I like the way you explain Raw processing.

I, too, LOVE RAW!!!! It is so versatile. However, they do require a little bit more processing because the camera is leaving the processing up to the user. Because CS3, CS4 and Lightroom can process JPEGs the same as RAW files, I have debated using JPEGs more often.
