RAW files are like your
digital negative. No
matter how many copies
and edits you make,
it’s always possible to
go back to this original
file and start over. The
file is uncompressed,
meaning it contains
all of the beautiful resolution your camera is capable of. In-camera
adjustments like sharpening and saturation are not added. As such,
the files can appear somewhat flat straight out of the camera. To get
the most out of this file type, you’ll need to first edit the image with
special RAW software. While the workflow is more time consuming,
the image quality is unsurpassed by even the highest quality JPEG.
