Brief discussion of shooting in RAW
Why shoot RAW?

When you shoot RAW, every pixel records a color. There's a LOT of information.

Shooting RAW requires around 3 times the storage space, but you have more information to "work with."

So, if you can, shoot RAW.

If you turn your photos into JPG or JPEG, this is a "compression scheme" and it tries to reduce the "size" of the picture (make it smaller).

Many small cameras don't shoot RAW.

GIF - only keeps track of 256 colors. This is great for web pages. JPG - keeps track of thousands of colors.
