JPG vs RAW

[task0778]

Is there much of a difference between shooting in JPG and shooting in RAW if you process the RAW file and then convert it to JPG? You hafta convert the RAW file to load it into a post, right? Otherwise it's too big.

If you shoot in RAW, you have a better chance of fixing it in post-edit.

RAW = retains all the image data captured.
JPG = A compressed format with some loss of data and quality.

But yes, you must convert to JPG but most modern photo apps do it. Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, etc
