First time I ever understood the RAW files. Brilliant.

[Runehorn]

Been doing photography for many years and my philosophy was, I never ever want to have to edit my pictures after so I got good at adjusting the camera on the fly to get the best pic I could get given the lighting condition. And I can't say I'm unhappy with my results, however, you may have convinced me to give raw a go. Since this was the best explanation I've heard and also a very good demonstration. Thank you for that!

This is a great explanation of why to shoot raw other than it’s just better.

[ninomendoza]

You explain every details so clearly so vividly I’m sure there’s tons of non pro guys like me who follows ur channel that learning more or at least convinced now to shoot in RAW :) thanks again man!

[vexrich]

Very good, clear explanation. I just got my first camera and have so much to learn.

Hey David, Thanks for that. I have always shot in RAW, and have had a little understanding about the information difference you capture with RAW v JPEG but when I tried explaining it to a friend of mine I was a bit lost for the right explanation. I have told him to watch this video of yours.

[AlexandGay]

Thanks for making such videos! I appreciate it, it helps a lot. Take care always.

I consider myself a novice, but one thing I learned early on with my old Canon XSi was to always shoot RAW. I remember thinking how soft and bad everything looked when I first started using it until I realized that I had to do all that myself, but the end result was far better. Now I just need to get into actually editing photos.

Thanks David! This was a great explanation and I loved seeing the example with the white balance. I think it’s definitely worth shooting in RAW for all that adjustability because in the past, I have had those massively blown out photos that I wished I could recover.

[jamesmcclain]

Thank you for making it easy to see the pros and cons in RAW vs JPEG files.

[ShonGentle]

Thank you for posting this. This really helped me🙏🏽

[pauledwards]

Thank you very clear easy to understand explanation

[spiritedSpore]

I have for the last 4 years shot in the format JPEG until recently when i discovered RAW. Now i to switch it around! Like i have struggled with the details in my photos ever since i bought my camera. This video helped me so much in understanding the difference!! Thank you so much. 🤗

Thanks David for what you do! Your videos are top of my must watch every week! I have just started shooting raw and trying to learn lightroom. As a casual photographer that does most of my shooting in the summer the lightroom subscription doesn’t make sense to me, do you know any more affordable alternatives?

[ManySkills]

This gave me more information in an easy to understand way than a year and a half of film school. (All we learned of RAW was that it let you punch in without degrading the image as badly and that you should only use it sparingly because it used so much space). If you ever wanted to do a video of alternate color grading software that doesn't need a subscription that would be really cool. :)

[mdcuber]

I already know all of this stuff but I still watched it because you made it!!

[elijahmant]

Excellent video, man. Massive Thanks .

[raven_fpv]

Awesome info David! As I have told you in the past, I have a fairly new Sony A6400 and I am new to photography and I thought it would be awesome if you did a video on the A6400 or something way similar or if you could point me in the right direction to some youtube video you think is honestly a good start for getting to know my Sony. I already have a lot of info to crunch that you provided already from me watching your videos constantly LOL so it's not like me starting from scratch! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again for the superb content!
