Intermediate: Raw Vs Jpeg
I am asked this question allot and I thought I would give you my opinion. I have used Raw from day one and have never made a single jpeg file in a camera. The reason for this is simple. I like to over expose images by about 1 third of a stop then drag the highlights back with the recovery tool in adobe lightroom. I never under expose to retain highlight detail. Try photographing a subject with a wide tonal range e.g a bride and groom on a sunny day. Use jpeg for the first image and raw for the second image. Import both images into adobe lightroom. Now try to recover highlight detail with the recovery slider for the jpeg file and the raw file.
