Out-takes, observations and other insight from South Puget Sound
Thursday, August 13th, 2009

While working up a pile of photos from a Quinceañera I was once again struck by the difference between RAW and jpeg.

JPEG

RAW

I find it fascinating when I run across examples where the RAW is a much better image and I'm posting this assuming that a few others will, too.

Bear in mind that I'm not always able to output a better file from the RAW. There have even been a few difficult images with bad "color failure" in which the jpeg was a better starting point for my workup than the RAW output.

And it's also interesting to see, once again, how the brightest of the highlights in the RAW image have no color. This trait of RAW images has always puzzled me. Usually a few minutes of Photoshop work can fix that type of artifact adequately.
