file formats

Advantages of RAW:

1. You have more control over editing your photo and how it ends up looking.

2. You can edit the photo is more detail with the use of a computer.

3. The photo is a higher quality image. 

Disadvantages of RAW:

1. The image is less sharp and lower in contrast. 

2. You have to use a computer to process and convert the photo.

3.  It takes a longer time to load RAW files.

Advantages of JPEG:

1. The image is sharper and higher in contrast.

2. Small file size.

3. You can take more photos in a shorter amount of time.

Disadvantages of JPEG:

1. You lose color when taken.

2. The photo is not as good quality.

3. It cannot be edited as fully as RAW.

1. The RAW file contains more data because it has not been compressed by the camera.

2. You have editing control over the white balance, contrast, highlights, colors and saturation.

3. RAW photos will take up more space on your memory due to the larger file size and not every camera has that option.

4. It is important for aspiring photographers to have a larger editing range so their images can be the best possible they can be. 

1. I have used JPEG and RAW before. When I was just starting to take photos, I shot in JPEG because I didn't have access to editing software. Eventually, I switched to RAW when I began to use photoshop and lightroom. 

2. Raster image format is when the data describes the characteristics of each and every pixel, but vector format is a geometrics description of the pixels and can be converted to any file size.
