Raw is uncompressed, jpeg is compressed. JPEG pictures will have a .jpeg file name extension.



To be honest, unless you have a high end camera, your camera will produce JPEG files. High-end SLRs give you the option on the camera.



RAW files tend to be huge e.g. >10Mb per picture. JPEGs will typically be < 4MB even with little compression

nicely we could get to it, uncooked isn't an acronym, and in reality skill the information that comes off the sensor as you shoot is introduced, its not organic as some issues specifically in digital camera sprucing is risk-free. digital camera's can not tell the version between a black and white photograph and a colour one, yet they do know whilst a undeniable colour hits a internet site, yet to them that's like throwing chickens, ducks and ducks, all birds. and that's ok A jpeg is a different animal, that's taking the image information and turning it into an extremely photograph, not do you have in basic terms information approximately what what the sensor sees yet its, not an fairly photograph, in spite of the undeniable fact that it additionally is going to a different step, it erases maximum of it, to make the document length lots smaller. once you spot photographs on the interent they are very just about consistently jpegs. It makes photograph data rather small, and straightforward which you would be able to work out. there's a value to pay for this however, i discussed that countless information is lost with a jpeg, so attempting to save a photograph on your pc and then printing it out consistently leads to a foul photograph, for one countless the information is long gone, different motives too i began out in this as announcing that uncooked isn't an acronym, and its not, its in reality impressive off the sensor and is not a picture document. JPEG is however, and it stands for Joint photograph experts team, that's in reality a gaggle of those that desperate that this grow to be a thank you to make photograph data small. How undesirable are Jpegs? not that undesirable, many individuals can not see the version., you won't see the ear ring hollow on a kind, yet whilst your did not know she had one, all of the greater suitable.

Had a quick look at the rules and they sound pretty silly to me. Everybody knows that shootings in RAW gives you more flexibility afterwards, and that digital images all can benefit from some post processing.



Anyways them's the rules...and it seems like they are to even the playing field for those who don't shoot with advanced gear. What you can do is shoot RAW+JPEG on your camera, and don't delete from your card. Once you're done upload all your images onto your laptop. Then redownload the 12 jpegs you want to submit. This way you don't have to constantly delete from your card throughout the day and you have a set of the RAWs when you're done.

If you can see the photos on your computer without doing anything to them, then they are JPEG. RAW is a format used on digital SLR and some high end point and shoot cameras. RAW files contain all the digital image information, but is unprocessed and uncompressed. You process the RAW file yourself to turn it into a usable image. RAW files are also called digital negatives. With JPEG, the image is preprocessed by the camera, and also compressed into a smaller file.
