What exactly is happening to a Raw photo when it becomes a JPEG and what about Raw photos are so preferable for photo editing
In: 239
A RAW file isn’t even an image per se. It is all the data your device is capable of recording, which is ideal for editing. Any picture you may see from a RAW file is just a preview of the data, in the form of a visible image.
So the JPEG your device produces is just the manufacturer’s best guess, but if you edit your own RAW data you can export another JPEG that is closer to what you were trying to achieve.
