You're right Tina, this discussion is becoming quite long for a thing widely discussed elsewhere. Things are much simpler, and have little to do with information that can be contained in the file more than the what was the destination for the format. TIFFs and JPGs (and most other formats as PNG, etc) are intended to save as much significant information as possible, RAW is a bit-dump sorta-plain format of the sensor capture *with no processing* (more or less true depending makers etc); any further processsing is up to you, you decide (WB, sharpness, contrast, etc), not the programs stored in the camera as it will do it in a JPG or TIFF. Sometimes it can be the only decent way to rescue detail in a burned light or underexposed shadow, among many other things (as changing a mistaken WB without going nuts)... but deciding what's good enough for anyone methods is up to anyone. I'll keep shooting and using RAW, thanks :) Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
