And also for beginners there will be a lot of photos which will be off-focused/wrong focused/missing subjects etc etc and you don't need to think twice before deleting those images so there isn't a point to keep large files. The ratio of keepers will also be low for beginners and shooting RAW will just lower the number of keepers (as the total number of pictures you can take in RAW will be lower than you can take in JPEG). Its important for a beginner to shoot a lot of photos and get your hands free. I had only one 8GB memory card and I could shoot 900 images in JPEG format while switching to RAW, I could shoot only around 250 shots. When I started photography, I was in the same dilemma and I chose to shoot JPEG over RAW. In my most humblest of opinions of course. Better to go out and take new photographs, than toil away and rehashing old ones. I think it's a fun exercise to go back and rework old images using new techniques, but I don't think its something that should be encouraged. Learning proper exposure techniques, framing, subject, and artistry are so much more important. Said another way, a properly exposed jpeg looks far better than a mediocre photo shot with RAW. If you spend your time trying to retouch so-so looking photos just because you can, you'll miss out on learning how to take good photos first! I prefer RAW, and I generally think it's the better choice, but as a beginner, there are far more important things that should take your attention instead of editors, and file formats.Ī RAW file isn't going to save your images from being boring, from being out of focus, or for being just plain bad. If you're a beginner, you might not have settled in on a workflow and may find that RAW files might be too cumbersome to work with. The downside to raw is that it's a two step process. Im going to go against the grain and say that you should shoot with whatever format you find easier to work with.
