Wow there are a lot of great raw vs jpeg comparisons on YouTube but this is undoubtedly the most informative one. Thank you!

[bthurmond]

Intelligent, accurate, humorous and so easy to understand! Thank you, Wolf,

[peterrinkel]

You remind me of my old History teacher, you keep me focust by the way you bring it, simple and with humor, thank you very much and please keep up bringing those videos

[PaulKretz]

Absolutely need a comparison of different RAW-interpreting tools! 🙂

[uncleeric]

This is without question the best explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of RAW and jpg I've ever seen.

[PaulKretz]

*Wunderbar, Herr Amri!* Vielen Dank! Amazing explanation. And I mean not only the information itself, but phrasing and reasoning! I really enjoyed it! 👍

You definitely should be nominated for and finally win an OSCAR in edutainment films for a bunch of aspects: Extremely informative, easy to understand even for beginners, explanations supported by depictions and notations that burn unforgetably into the brain, spiced with a lot of subtle humour, and much more...
Thank you Wolf for all your efforts that make the world of photography in many aspects a better one!
Finally every single picture is a window to the soul of its creator: The motif, composition, choice of parameters and editing makes the photographer's points of interests and moods visible. And with your help you're enabling the beginners as well as the advanced to make these windows as precise as possible.

And by the way (as an advanced beginner) I'm highly interested in learning about the comparison Lightroom vs. Capture One, as I'm owning a Lightroom subscription and due to some references of other professional photographers towards Capture One I'm thinking about subscribing this programm as well IF it's adding important features to somebody like me who is eager to improve editing skills.

U made beginners to understand photography in a very simple manner thanks for that ❤️❤️

[juanzamora]

Wolf I have learned much more in your channel that all the other photography YouTube videos in other channels combines, you are an amazing instructor.

[anarcosudaca]

Hey, Wolf! I'd like to thank you for this amazing hidden gem of a channel you have. Your content really deserves millions of subscribers, it's genuinely amazing. Congrats for it!!! Also, I'm interested as well into the editing software comparisons

[botam]

Photography felt like a dead art to me since the explosion of social media and mobile shooting. Wolf brought it back to life for me. Lesssgo! 💪 💪

[jazinvillaronte]

Very underated youtube channel.. I learn much more in this channel than the others..

[NanonerMcKologico]

The best explanations for photography are in this channel. Thanks for your hard work.

[gnther]

This was excellent. Thank you. Probably the best overview I've seen of the pros and cons of using RAW.

[akashdev]

This is the ultimate Guide! never saw any video that went into such great depths while keeping content interactive.. Now I realize why there is banding in my JPEG photo's while editing. Now on RAW is my go to camera setting. Glad I landed in this channel. Mr. Wolf is a great teacher.

[Mudly]

I'm astonished at the lack of views and likes you receive with your tutorials being so detailed yet succinct and on point.

[pedestrian]

Great point made about RAW being future-proof, but as for me personally, I realized that life is too short to edit every single image I take including photos from the past, I better use the time to take more photos or live more moments worth photographing. Of course, I'm not a professional photographer and photos are just for memories. Thank you, great video!

[mihai]

you really make this concepts easy to understand, keep up the good work!!

[drbvrao]
