RAW vs JPEG Explained // PROS and CONS // Which is Better for Your Photography Workflow?

In this Photography Tutorial I break down the PROS and CONS between using RAW and using JPEG for photography, starting with the technical differences between them (image quality, file size, transfer speeds, benefits, limitations, etc). I also cover camera settings, image processing, compression, compatibility, and when and why some situations are better suited for JPEG while others are better suited for RAW. Should you always shoot RAW, or is there a time and place for JPG? Watch and find out! RAW vs JPEG Explained // PROS and CONS // Which is Better for Your Photography Workflow?

The same thing for when I create and edit videos and animation. Like I've been editing videos in the MP4 but in a high bit depth as in 30bps when I've should've been editing in MOVs because colors stay more 100% accurate and quality and EXTREMELY high and lossless.

Thank you that was very well explained, I still don't know at this time where I might need jpeg versus raw but with what you told us here it will allow me to make a better decision in the future.

in this tutorial, There was no obvious''choice'' to set camera to jpeg, .... vs raw, ! I specifically asked HOW to revert to jpeg ONLY, and got led pff on benefits of both formats. WHERE/HOW is the dial button/ turn to set JUST JPEG??
