RAW or JPEG? Which is Better?

[@nizarnadirsha4638]

[@muthuramakrishnanshanmugav581]

Sir, it would be interesting if you upload the Bloopers happened during your video shoot...:) Waiting for it...:-p

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Depends on what you want to do with it. And what's the 'budget' for your? 👍

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

RAW by itself cannot be used for any type of reproduction. It needs to be processed using a RAW processing software to an appropriate format suitable for your image destination. Popular format are TIFF, Jpeg and EPS. Adobe PSD is a format used for saving WIP files in Photoshop.

[@jaishetty8586]

An image scan from a film negative into RAW is like making a digital negative. most things are captured. Why is it that the film scanners of modern cinema rather scan in motion jpeg ? Is it because of the file size ?

[@SASlair]

This is the best comparison of RAW vs JPEG yet. Thanks!

[@shiekhrameez7153]

I have seen many people explaining the RAW before and even i was not able to explain to my frnds what RAW is and now I can just send them this video...... Thanks sir

[@amitpratap206]

The extremely simple language to explain any complex thing makes the pixel village amazing channel. Thanks for creating such great content which gave me better understanding of photography. I wish you reach millions of subscribers.

[@Carolyne_games]

Great explanation, beautifully presented, thank you. I personally shoot jpeg most of the time, which my father likes to question (or even make fun of). The thing is, many good cameras shoot excellent jpeg, and in many cases we don’t really need the full control of the images provided by raw. In those cases, shooting jpeg saves memory space and saves time (for importing, quick adjusting and sharing). Some say raw+jpeg is the way to go, but that consumes even more battery and memory. Something I find interesting too is that some raw shooters I know tend to become lazier with the actual shooting as they get more experienced, because they get the illusion that with raw they can do anything post. For me that takes away something critical from the moment of taking the image. With most commercial use or difficult lighting though, raw is without a doubt the way to go :)

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

👍

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

The correct answer is virtually always raw. If for some reason you don't need the raw file and the jpg was fine, you can always delete it. Even if you just use the embedded settings to process on the computer, you can use more powerful hardware to process the image differently. You can always change the amount of noise reduction and sharpness applied if you like. And yeah, the raw does take up a lot more space, but card space is cheap these days. This isn't 20 years ago when memory cards were small and expensive. A 32gb card isn't that expensive.

[@withimmtabs]

[@tw9535]

Another fantastic video... as always! I do not know if it has been mentioned yet, but another reason that I am excited to save my "digital negatives" (a.k.a. photo files) in the RAW format is that all of the additional information available in RAW files to current display devices (monitors, smartphones, tablets, etc.), presentation devices (printers) and current editing software (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.) is only being put to use by the limitations of today's technology. As display devices and editing software continue to increase in sophistication and ability in the future I am excited to see what can be drawn out of those RAW files ("digital negatives") that is not being drawn out today. The more available information, the better. More actual, captured information will keep display devices and software from having to make as many computational guesses to fill in the holes.

I like your Videos very much. I am however a Canon user. I think the subject, Raw Vs Jpeg need not be debated . We can proceed on the basis that Raw, if the User knows how to process it, is superior. But what you demonstrated so well, requires, IMHO, no demonstration at at all, at least for most of us. Let me repeat, the Video itself is impeccable.God bless you.

I understood the basic idea that raw files are bigger with more information, but I never really understood the point of that till your video.

[@tomyoung5449]

Thank you sir for this instructive video. The decision to shoot RAW, JPEG, or both depends on the situation and your target environment. This certainly clarified things. I enjoyed the "magic act" with the milk bottles.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Raw+JPG is virtually always the right choice. There are a few situations where only one or the other makes sense, but they are rare. Or, to put it another way, raw+JPG is the right choice unless you have a specific reason to do something else.

[@julessanchez9216]

Thank you so much for a clear explanation of the J-Peg vs RAW. I hear so many that have talked about the raw file being better but until now with your explanation I never really understood. So thank you for sharing your knowledge that helps broaden my understanding of this subject.

[@prasadnair2540]

After watching so many Video's , Its only your video I could understand the exact meaning of RAW file. Thank you very much Sir. Very Crystal Clear Video and it becomes more clear when you explain.

[@rahulraj39]

It's always simple comparison RAW File is Like Original File that is untouched by camera processor it is shot as it is And where as Jpeg It will take advantage of camera additional processor to Auto fill the correction in picture if wanted to edit RAW file is always take advantage of editor as it is untouch where as if you want to edit jpeg it is already edited by camera processor on the top next edition will made

[@sahilbrar7330]

watched your video for the first time and just loved it sir..amazing

[@ansarifaizan144]

This was the best explanation. In other videos they simply tell us that we can do this and that with the Raw and i use to wonder i could also do those stuff with Jpeg then why RAW. This video actually tell us the reason. Thanks a lot.

[@johndonaldson5126]

Finally someone made the use of RAW make sense. Thank you so much.

[@teashirt]

Raw vs. JPegFine is relevant for people wanting to do post processing. You want to keep in higher bit depths for editing. Just remember all your output devices, commercial printers computer monitors and even PostScript works in 8 bit/per channel world. Also Human eye can not detect more than 256 different levels per channel. So the value of RAW comes in when rounding errors get build up on repeated editing.

[@abarajithan3950]

after watched this video, my confusion was came to a conclusion , Thank u so much sir now I am started to learning basic photography by your videos. kindly do a video for portrait photography thank you.

[@jordanking7711]

My thought and opinion is, unless you need to do editing in general and just want or need to share pictures straight away, shoot JPEG. However if you need to do light or heavy editing, you need to be shooting RAW. Editing in RAW is much better than editing in JPEG for the reasons mentioned. Also when saving JPEG files, it's better to save said photo file as a TIFF and not a JPEG. With a JPEG file, from what I've been told, every time you open said file if it's a JPEG, the quality degrades with every use. But with a TIFF file, I believe that doesn't happen.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Generally speaking, always shoot raw+JPG unless you have a specific reason to do something else. You can always delete the files you don't need later on if you like. As far as JPG goes, each time you save and resave, you do lose a bit, but a good program will keep the loss to a minimum by uncompressing it into an image with an array of pixels rather than cells and then when it recompresses the image, only the changed pixels will be affected. But, if you do anything to change the dimensions or the amount of compression, that can and will mess things up.

[@lordoftheflings]

So in other words, jpeg for people who value their time and are skilled enough to get it right in camera, and RAW for people who have the time to endlessly fiddle with their images trying to fix their shooting mistakes? By shooting raw on your expensive Nikon Camera, you basically have a bunch of Data from Sony. Because Sony makes the sensor for that camera. Why buy an expensive camera where half of the cost comes from the digital processor inside if you're not gonna use it? You know, the one developed by a team of engineers with Ph.D's in image processing, color analysis, and film science that get paid 6 figure salaries. The result is that most RAWs done manually look like over processed and inconsistent crap. If you are producing any substantial body of work, and not just 20 photos a week, you don't have time to twiddle with RAWs. You bought this expensive camera, why not trust it to process the images? We used to trust labs to process our film. And he is wrong. A raw is not like a negative. Its more like an unprocessed negative. The JPEG is actually like your digital film negative. Just like with film, you can edit your jpeg a little, but if you under or over exposed it significantly,then that was just too bad.

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Appreciate your point of view 🙏

[@matamuraii7952]

If you have to correct, why not correct with a raw. I had a camera, my first digital, that did only JPEG. Coming from darkroom, I tried to burn/dodge and got all the weird bands in skies I could not identify. Sharpening is default with JPEG. In reality it must be customized to print size and medium. I only use JPEG now when immediate distribution is required.

Thanks Radha Sir!! This certainly rests the case by justifying both RAW and JPEG based on the objective and ability of the shooter. I have always preferred to shoot in both RAW and JPEG (in highest resolution) simultaneously. Needless to mention this "may" pose a challenge of space and speed to many shooters, I personally have never found that as a challenge, with my 128gb cfast. And Radha Sir, I believe you wanted to say RAW instead of JPEG at 11.55... Cheers!!!

My phone captures in 16-bit dng using adobe lightroom. One 13 megapixel photo is around 25 megabytes in size. The resolution is 4192 x 3104 that means 13,011,968 pixels. If each pixel is 16-bit, then total it is 13,011,968 x 16 = 208,191,488 bits = 26,023,936 bytes = 25,414 kilobytes = 24.818 megabytes.

[@RubyInferno]

This is the video I was looking for....sir thank you so much for clarifying this! My thoughts were exactly the same before I even watched this video. Lossy compressed files simply cannot compete with the information-rich lossless/uncompressed files be it an image or an audio file. Now I know why I won't go for the Nikon Coolpix p900, don't want to get stuck with JPEGs after spending 600$.

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Since RAW files are pure data files, even the 'Lossless Compressed RAW' files will be (theoretically) as good as Uncompressed RAW. 👍

[@RubyInferno]

Yes, exactly! That also clarifies some dubious information I came across recently. I knew that lossless audio files for example FLACs are compressed yet can reproduce the exact signal that would be produced by a similar WAVE file but someone mentioned that "lossless compressed" image files have a slight information loss specifically in the shadow-region...I was not convinced with that and I guess I was right, thanks again sir! ^__^
