They are one of the most common used formats for storing and capturing images. Starting with JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) or JPG files.
To understand the difference between these to formats, we need to understand when you’re going to be using each one and the good that comes from using them. From that extra step you can process and edit the image as you would like, using the modification that fit the images needs. If you are manually selecting your camera to take pictures in a raw format, it does create an extra step, which can be exactly what you’d want. Such as, white balance, color saturation, contrast and sharpness. However, because there are large amounts of data within a raw file, you are able to reduce the sky’s brightness as well as increase the clarity to make your subject “pop”.Īlmost every digital camera or smartphone processes it’s images into a JPEG file using any of it’s automatically selected settings. A lot of times when you are choosing this route, the image doesn’t have any adjustments done to it, and at times when you are shooting, you’ll find that the sky can be too bright, or the subject you’re trying to capture is too dark. It’s the image as your camera sees it, completely unprocessed.
