RAW Vs. JPEG: Why I Shoot JPG

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

If anyone wants the shirt, it's a North America XL. Leave a comment below, and I'll draw a name this week on the Friday Livestream at 9am EST!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Adding Steven Neaves, because you commented before I could pin my comment!

[@chrisogrady28]

To convert, that’s a 5XL in every other continent

[@franciscodania]

Taylor Jackson great videos vero bs. That video in Costa Rica looks great.

[@mikeamyphotography3926]

Taylor Jackson love it!

[@millerdp]

Absolutely. Measure twice (planning and practice) and cut once (finished image).

[@bencushwa8902]

A file format is a tool, just like a camera or a lens. Use the one that works best to do what you need it to do.

[@stevenneaves8079]

Jared Polin is now triggered 😂

[@stevenneaves8079]

Nevertheless, I highly agree with this video

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Hah.

[@scallen3841]

Isn't he the leader of the cult of raw

[@ditto1958]

Back in the day- circa 2004- I probably should have shot RAW. My cameras back then had terrible auto WB and terrible exposure latitude. Back then, though, storage was much more expensive. Fast memory cards were not cheap. So I made do with jpeg. These days memory is much cheaper, but my more modern camera gets the WB and exposure right much more reliably. I used to spend hours with Photoshop back then because I had to if I wanted to get usable pics. I don’t wanna do that any more. Could I get better results with RAW and Lightroom? Yes, I could. But as an amateur jpeg is good enough.

[@alanc6416]

I just started RAW+ JPEG , because the new XT4 is dual card. Given the cost of storage nowadays, it’s becoming less a topic as years go by. I find 90% of the JPEG were already acceptable and don’t bother editing in RAW. However, since I was deliberately testing difficult scenes, 10% must be edited in RAW, and those really show the difference. So I’ll keep shooting JPEG + RAW from now on, and only edit in RAW when necessary. I also keep that RAW copy just in case on the NAS. I’m not a professional, just casual shooter

[@jona3797]

I hate raw files, I'm more about the composition of a photo great video! DJ Hanzel reference 😂 👌

[@keelanwalker4379]

Jared Polin would be disappointed 😂

[@Photomeike]

Let it be known that House Jackson has aligned thyself with House Northrop. The king in the North!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Photo-Me-Ike hahah I honestly don’t know them much, but they create so much good professional content

[@batsonelectronics]

I shoot portraits in studio with a D800, I use JPG Fine, no problems. I can cleanly pull 2 stops from the JPG but I rarely need to. I work hard to get Exposure correct in camera. I have a D3 ( wildlife ) and the D800 ( portraits and landscapes ) and have both set to 4:5 Aspect as I print mostly 8x10 and 16x20 using an Epson P900 printer. I also expose for the highlights. Like I said, no problem with 2 full stops from the shadows if needed. Never shot Canon so not sure if it is true for all makers or just Nikon.

[@richarddufault]

My X-T2 makes great JPGs too with the film simulations. It's great for social media during an event, or for family stuff when I don't have access to a computer for a while.

[@BenjaminFreddie]

Richard Dufault - totally! That’s one of the reasons I switched to Fuji from Canon awhile ago. I also like using the film simulations for my videos even if I plan to color grade them a bit. Chrome is probably my favorite for photos.

[@sthomaslewis]

I always shoot both raw and jpeg. Darktable and the Nikon software start from the settings in the camera (SD, Portrait, Vivid, etc.) and you can edit from there and then export to another jpeg file or open the file in GIMP.

[@EyeAmDiamondphotog]

And it seems like depending the camera determines if you should/could use JPEG (mirrorless)!!!

[@harj-spp8547]

100% valid point and reasons to shoot jpeg. It's smart and very effcient when needed, as described in the video. I also use nikons picture control utility, download some fuji, kodak and vsco film emulsion looks, tweak to my taste on the pc and then load several to my cameras. I can then either shoot the preset with jpeg on-the-fly ready for uploading, or shoot raws only and quicktly use the built-in editor to apply a preset/crop etc and then save as jpeg. No snapseed type app required. Upload. Boom I'm done.

[@goat2503]

You can edit raw on mobile anyway with Lightroom, I use my iPad and phone for the majority of my edits

[@Garcia24678]

Is the user interface face different on ipad compared to iPhone?

[@olivierroubieu]

The Sony a7iii Superfine JPEGS look so much better than the Raws!

[@Mostawkwardly]

Everything in studio, Jpeg, weddings JPeg & raw 🙌

[@BartRos1980]

I know realize the title was clickbait

[@shuaibvp]

Am i the only one with ocd about the background of the video

[@bolinsapark]

photographers vs photographers lols. who cares about what we see. its our audience. they don't care about us .using diff lens or are we shooting in jpeg or raw lol.

[@frederikvanreusel]

I like both RAW and JPEG. Sometimes I just like to upload a jpeg to my instagram because its easier and faster but sometimes I want to edit my pictures and if I edit them I always choose to edit the raw. But I don't have much space left on my pc and I noticed that I shot already 15GB of pictures just today... And I can't decide should I go for RAW + BASIC quality jpeg, RAW only or HIGH quality jpeg only?

[@obsidian00]

I don't know who you are anymore...

[@KAR120C69]

Shoot jpg with raw being saved to card. Use jpg to sort photos for correct focus/framing/etc. then edit raw files crop/sharpness/etc for final photo. Most times, because I get it correct in camera, there is little or no editing needed. Still like having a raw file to work with because it gives me more room to edit & be more creative than a jpg if I decide on a different look where if I shot scene in jpg only I'm limited. For some people it might not matter but why would I want to limit what I can do with a photo if it was shot only in jpg? Memory cards & other backup methods are much cheaper now days so for me there's no good reason to shoot only jpg. And for those that only do jpg today they might be happy with their results... for now. But what if in many years from now they look back at their photos and want to edit them differently? Maybe they'll have better software or other reasons to edit their photos. Those people will have been robbed of the chance because they thought "jpg was good enough right now"... and they won't have a raw file to work with when they'll wish they did because of what??? 🤔

[@scallen3841]

If one needs to spend that much time on a raw file editing etc , dam don't over edit the sky can be only so blue , the grass so green and the clouds so white

[@Harielxaviermedia]

I've been DYING to ask you this question for a while know. Thanks to you, I'm hybrid shooting. Like you, I have D850s. My question to you is why not use Fuji for hybrid shooting? The focusing on the Nikon bodies suck for video. I'm sure you have a strong opinion and I'd love to know. I'd even pay you to have a conversation!

[@svanteekholm7334]

Personally I love the in-camera RAW converter on the Nikon bodies. It's like a micro-Lightroom that you always have with you. I would shoot RAW, convert it to JPEG in-camera in like 15 seconds then send that picture via wifi to my phone and then up to social media.

[@solomonajayi7713]

How do you do that with D850

[@kristiejochim9089]

Thank you for this video!! Curious, what camera were you using during the video clip of the couple that you showed in this video? Color looks amazing!!

[@katherinehemmer9926]

Thanks for posting! I've been shooting raw files, now I want to try shooting jpeg again.

[@ruff1draft]

I am going to purchase both a new laptop and the Nikon D750 with the 24-120 kit lens.

[@nataliariano2524]

My man! Absolutely my point!

[@ramunasvalancius2509]

Yes, we all do when we are on holiday 😀😀

[@jordanrice498]

This was helpful thanks!

[@BenjaminFreddie]

To be honest I shoot jpeg 90% of the time. I shoot with Fuji and I’ve gotten so used to getting good results from the Fuji jpegs that I’ve made Lightroom presets made to compliment the various Fuji Film simulation jpegs. It has made my workflow easier for sure and I have not yet experienced a time when I regretted it.

[@minhhoang-ln6cw]

Raw file, the luxury of modern photography.

[@FoarteMisto]

Powerlets are the best !

[@TheDukeBoX101]

I just wanted to join in the fun.

[@fantomfoto]

I still always shoot RAW, but there are plenty of valid reasons for shooting Jpeg.

[@EyeAmDiamondphotog]

So basically when you have control of the scene/location etc it’s a good enough reason to shoot JPEG!

[@rodhill5507]

shooting jpg reminds me of shooting fujichrome slide film years ago. you had to get it right in camera otherwise you ended up with a grey mess!

[@mikeamyphotography3926]

I would love the shirt! Love your videos!

[@memily515]

I hope its pre-shrunk, if not I’m screwed! -Victor

[@ronnyvianafotofilme]

do you have the video for growth in Portuguese Photography?

[@22s22a]

I feel like it's situational sometimes I shoot raw sometimes I shoot jpeg

[@danielkim8702]

Would make great merch

[@CristianGeelen]

I actually get a bit tired of the Jared bashing. No need for it...

[@AdvocateInertia]

Canuck knows J-puck

[@seanimal3]
