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 photo contains all the information collected by the camera sensor, before any processing decisions have been applied.
So this means a RAW image editor can more easily change things like the white balance and exposure levels of the image.
But RAW photos take up a lot of memory, so once you are happy with the image you can convert it into a much more lightweight JPEG image.
