Nice job with the explanation Rocco. With my Sony A7III I always shoot in both, just in case I want to work with the RAW file.

Nice quick professionally crafted video. I appreciate that you didn't try to turn this into a 10 minute diatribe.

Yes thanks, most of who are DLSR photographers are well informed on the benefits of shooting raw !
However as this is a DJI Spark forum, it is kinda pointless as a Spark cannot shoot in Raw ?

General info though

Absolute correct. Shooting in RAW permits color correction whereas, JPEG, not.

Are you sure? I color correct JPEGs all the time.

Have been known to be wrong in the past and will be wrong in the future, most likely. How do you do it?

 

[Dragonfly Joe]

I know that you can color correct JPEGs in editing software like Lightroom but you cannot make the many changes that you can do to a RAW file like the plethora of metadata filters available in software like RawTherapee.

IMO, I agree it's possible to color correct a JPEG but everything is a lot more baked in. There's much more range with RAW as it preserves most of the file’s original data compared to a lossy format like JPEG. When the option is available, I second Dragonfly Joe's method of always shooting in both.

Works like any other image in Lightroom. The same tools are there, just does not have as much data to work with.
I work with RAW for more serious stuff, and often JPEG for snapshot type stuff.

Never used Lightroom.
Thanks

But you don't have the option of shooting RAW with Spark ??
Unless of course, you take your clothes off ! ?
