Photoshop Elements: Split Toning, Tips: Passage of Time & Organize Your Photographs (Revised)
On your camera, you can choose the file format for your photographs.
The two commonly used file formats are JPEG and a raw file format.
When should you save your photographs with the JPEG file format—and when with a raw file format?
For most people, most of the time, the JPEG file format is the best.
In some instances, you'll want to save your photographs using a raw file format.
Here are the reasons for using each of the formats.
Save your photographs as a JPEG file if:
• The photograph is correctly exposed.
• The photograph has the appropriate white balance setting.
• The photograph will be used on a web page.
• The photograph will be sent as an e-mail attachment.
• The photograph will require little editing.
• You're taking many photographs in quick succession.
JPEG files are saved more quickly than raw files.
Save your photographs as a raw file if:
• The photograph has a wide range of contrast.
• The photograph will need the white balance adjusted.
• The photograph will require extensive editing.
• You'll be returning to process the photograph repeatedly, in different ways.
The discussion is the short answer.
Read on for the long answer, if you wish.
