JPG vs Raw: Get it Right the First Time
http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/raw.htm
"JPGs (same as JPEGs) are normal digital camera images. Cameras
create JPG images from raw image sensor data based on your settings
like Sharpness and White Balance. The camera makes the JPG and then
the raw data evaporates as soon as the JPG is recorded".
"JPG (same as JPEG) is the standard used by prolific shooters. It
gives great quality and offers the fastest speed for everything. It
is the most popular and compatible image format on the planet. It is
especially popular for the things for which digital cameras are best
suited in the first place, like news, sports and events. With JPG
you can shoot hundreds or thousands of images at a time and the
files are ready for release with no further processing".
"A well-done JPG is all I ever need".
"If I didn't have a camera that allowed me to get the right results
the first time I might be tempted by the tedious raw format. Oddly,
the simpler cameras that might need raw don't offer it, and the
better cameras that do usually don't need it"!

Macs and Microsoft Windows computers. Also there are many third party
