3 advantages of a RAW file: 

• Gives more control over the image
• White balance is easy to correct
• Quality is better

Disadvantage of RAW file: 

• Huge files
• Hard to take pictures of sports

3 advantages of a JPEG:

• Processes quickly
• Can take more photos as a time
• Will not always need to fix/modify 

Disadvantage of JPEG: 

• More "noise" in the pictures

RAW: taking a picture and then the camera store the settings and info. the image can then be easily edited and still retain quality.

JPEG: what most people usually use, it processes all the info. right away so you can see the image right then, image may be lower quality but it will also not need as many corrections.

1. Under the first heading "Capturing the Images," how much of the data does a RAW file retain after it is captured by the camera? A lot of data.

2. Under the second heading "Processing the Files," what are some of the things that a RAW file enables a photographer to edit after the image is taken? 

• white balance
• contrast
• highlights
• shadows 
• colors
• saturation

3. Under the third heading "Practicalities," what are some of the factors that photographers must consider when deciding to shoot in RAW? 

• not every camera is able to shoot in raw 
• enough space on the memory card
• JPEG can not be turned into RAW

4. Under the fourth heading "Which one is for you?" why would an aspiring professional photographer need to know how to work with RAW files?

RAW files give you more editing power, but will take more time editing. 

Times it would be better to shoot in RAW.

• If you want higher quality pictures
• If you want to be a professional photographer
