Hey Photographers, are you shooting in RAW or JPEG
 

Or both?

I sale RAW JPEGs

both

you never know if you might need something better for print - but so far we just burn the RAWs and put them away.

I am shooting in JPEG and sometimes in RAW when does the clients need it.

I shoot jpeg for the sites and raw if its my artsy stuff or for my portfolio.

I shoot jpg

For my own site I shoot in RAW.

I shoot jpeg for the sites and raw for anything I might print.

For me, and I could be short-bus, but it depends on the model:

Caucasian: png
Latina: bmp
Asian: gif
African(/american): jpeg
Interracial: cdr

*shrug*

RAW for sure if you ever do print. Jpeg is good for net but that's about it. Any lossy format is gonna give you hell for high end.

I shoot jpeg at the moment.

That's pretty damn clever.

We shoot RAW and archive in case we need to use for print work, and batch process JPEG dupes in Photoshop for web work. :2 cents:

Raw and then convert to JPEG.

yes. it depends on the model and the place...

Raw, I can always downgrade to jpeg but never upgrade to raw again after the fact.

CDR's a new format on me.

Raw... if you can handle the storage shooting in raw will incur, why do anything different.

Same fucking thing goes for HD... if you can do it, do it now... no reason to be out of the loop when a deal for high rez comes through and you can't deliver because you shot low end...

RAW, for print and tweaking ability.
That said, Photoshop CS3 lets you edit JPEGs in the RAW editor, which is crazy cool.

Content sets: Jpg
Fine art: Raw
Weddings: Raw

Raw and Jpeg always

Does PS in general edit the raw images?

never ever ever shoot jpg the minute you do you lose at least 75% of your quality even at the highest jpg setting

Yes, it has Adobe Camera Raw, which is a raw file handler. You can batch process and everything.

Thanks Elli.

Have never really messed with them in that format, so Im going to give it a try.

raw, assuming i have enough memory to finish the shoot

RAW and batch process.

It's Corel Draw format

worst advise i have ever seen..
jpeg is a in camera processing/compression of the raw data. some cameras do great jpegs, some dont. jpeg is one of the few areas where the camera actually matters..i shoot often with my fujis S2 in jpeg as this camera delivers great jpeg skintones, better than most photogs can duplicate batching in PS. 90% of my shoots for web are shot in jpeg.

when i shoot for magazines (and for a few high end web clients), i shoot raw, convert in 16bit to TIFF and the whole 9 yards, but then again magazines is a different ballgame alltogether.

this just in, it's official: digital cameras don't shoot 'bmp' 'png' 'gif'

you go girl!!

RAW + Basic JPG with my D80. I use the raw for storage nin my archive and when i want prints. The jpg usually go on the web or op cdr for friends or such.

RAW is the thing for me :)

Adobe Bridge is your friend :)

RAW, that is ever since I got my 4GB card (since the photos are 4200x2900 type pixels)

depends on the project, it's application and final destination (ie: web or print)

Most of the time i shoot Jpg adobe RGB ... for web projects unless asked otherwise .. for print advertising I shoot RAW .. it's the only time I want or need that extra image control ...

Always make you desicions based on the final product, it's needs and applications ... it'll save you time (raw processing is quite time consumming), effort and heart ache (imagine having to process 600 + pics in raw)

Shooting in Raw if the client wants it otherwise just full size .jpg

How long does it take for you to process a shoot from raw? I sometimes shoot 5000-7000 shots in a 2-3 day shoot. I can't imagine processing that many images.

I shoot mostly jpeg (Fuji S-3) but raw for mags, special requests, and portrait sessions.

I shoot almost exclusively in RAW, but if I was doing serious volume I'd shoot in both RAW and JPEG: the former for long term archival (and possible recovery from potential stuffups), the latter for quick
turnaround...

Memory and storage is cheap these days. I recently purchased two Sandisk Extreme 8GB CF cards for less than a single Ultra II 512MB one cost me 3 years ago!

For myself probably the most important advantage with RAW is that white balance can be changed after the shot. If you're in an unusual situation then JPEG leaves very little room to make major corrections to the colour balance, before you run into ugly posterization problems.

Same here. I'm shocked at all the JPG answers.

I just started shooting in RAW, I had to upgrade to photoshop CS3 for it also, CS3 is the only photoshop that will read the raw files in the canon 5D
