- Explain the main differences between a raw and jpeg file.
A JPEG file is quicker to process than a RAW file. RAW files have better image quality than a JPEG. Sharing RAW files is much harder than sharing a JPEG. JPEGS are compressed and condensed but RAW files are not.
2. Which file is bigger RAW or Jpeg?
JPEGS are six times smaller than RAW because RAW photos are not compressed like JPEGS.
3. Can you change a Raw file to a Jpeg, once your photos are the computer? How?
You can change a RAW file into a jpeg by storing two versions of the photo but this can cause a number of issues like things will take longer to back up and the camera will slowdown when shooting RAW. Other than that the photo will look like you shot in a JPEG to begin with.
4. If you were shooting an important event would you shoot it RAW or Jpeg? Explain.
I would shoot it in RAW because it can give better resolution and does not compress it. If the event were something that wouldn’t usually happen it would make it more believable because it wouldn’t look photoshopped. But if the size is too much to handle then I can just convert it into a JPEG.
