Understanding file formats (JPEG vs. RAW): try it yourself

1. Side-by-Side Edit

Edit JPEG and RAW of same photo; see highlight/shadow recovery difference.

2. Storage Test

Note how many RAW vs. JPEG fit on your card.

3. Workflow Sim

Shoot RAW; edit; export as JPEG for sharing.

4. Colour Depth

RAW has 12-14 bit colour vs. JPEG’s 8 bit; more editing headroom.

5. When to Use JPEG

Fast events, no editing planned, limited space.
