First time I ever understood the RAW files. Brilliant.
Been doing photography for many years and my philosophy was, I never ever want to have to edit my pictures after so I got good at adjusting the camera on the fly to get the best pic I could get given the lighting condition. And I can't say I'm unhappy with my results, however, you may have convinced me to give raw a go. Since this was the best explanation I've heard and also a very good demonstration. Thank you for that!
This is a great explanation of why to shoot raw other than it’s just better.
I agree 100%
@@NickFaulkner So is this what you do?
Shoot raw photos, then convert them to jpeg, and then edit them thru photoshop/lightroom?
@@gessinibirad2980 No you edit them as RAW
@@littleman787 thanks
You explain every details so clearly so vividly I’m sure there’s tons of non pro guys like me who follows ur channel that learning more or at least convinced now to shoot in RAW :) thanks again man!
Very good, clear explanation. I just got my first camera and have so much to learn.
Love these videos, I'm actually actively taking notes as I watch these
I consider myself a novice, but one thing I learned early on with my old Canon XSi was to always shoot RAW. I remember thinking how soft and bad everything looked when I first started using it until I realized that I had to do all that myself, but the end result was far better. Now I just need to get into actually editing photos.
Thanks for making such videos! I appreciate it, it helps a lot. Take care always.
Hey David, Thanks for that. I have always shot in RAW, and have had a little understanding about the information difference you capture with RAW v JPEG but when I tried explaining it to a friend of mine I was a bit lost for the right explanation. I have told him to watch this video of yours.
Hey bro hope you are well. Sorry we haven't been able to visit you for a while we were in Bulgaria then Malta were we got stuck due to Covid and flights we're cancelled. But great to catch up with you again. Your entertainment and enthusiasm is priceless bro, thanks so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us really appreciate it. Stay safe and catch up again real soon bro. God bless you.
Thanks David for what you do! Your videos are top of my must watch every week! I have just started shooting raw and trying to learn lightroom. As a casual photographer that does most of my shooting in the summer the lightroom subscription doesn’t make sense to me, do you know any more affordable alternatives?
Thanks David! This was a great explanation and I loved seeing the example with the white balance. I think it’s definitely worth shooting in RAW for all that adjustability because in the past, I have had those massively blown out photos that I wished I could recover.
So is this what you do?
Shoot raw photos, then convert them to jpeg, and then edit them thru photoshop/lightroom?
Super helpful as always ,thanks
Thank you for making it easy to see the pros and cons in RAW vs JPEG files.
Tis crazy that I used to store all my Raw files on Dvd roms back in the day. I still go back and edit them though, with new ideas etc.
I only shoot RAW. Having settings saved in Lightroom is great for quick edits....
I liked this video, I enjoy nodding along to your opinions.
You could do a video (if able) on an old DSLR vs newer ones... maybe..
best of luck
Thank you for posting this. This really helped me🙏🏽
This was really helpful, David! You do such a terrific job of breaking concepts down in a way that's easy to understand. Quick question: If you shoot in RAW and then go back to the computer to edit the image to be what you like, do you recommend then saving the image as a jpeg + deleting the RAW file in order to save space?
If space is an issue, you could do this. Ideally, space is not an issue and you can keep your RAW file and then have a finished JPEG.
This gave me more information in an easy to understand way than a year and a half of film school. (All we learned of RAW was that it let you punch in without degrading the image as badly and that you should only use it sparingly because it used so much space). If you ever wanted to do a video of alternate color grading software that doesn't need a subscription that would be really cool. :)
I have for the last 4 years shot in the format JPEG until recently when i discovered RAW. Now i neeeeed to switch it around! Like i have struggled with the details in my photos ever since i bought my camera. This video helped me so much in understanding the difference!! Thank you so much. 🤗
Awesome info David! As I have told you in the past, I have a fairly new Sony A6400 and I am new to photography and I thought it would be awesome if you did a video on the A6400 or something way similar or if you could point me in the right direction to some youtube video you think is honestly a good start for getting to know my Sony. I already have a lot of info to crunch that you provided already from me watching your videos constantly LOL so it's not like me starting from scratch! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again for the superb content!
Congratulations 🎊 on 150k
Great explanation! I mostly shoot video so this doesn't really affect me. But good to know.
Excellent video, man. Massive Thanks .
Been following since you had 20k subscribers. Knew you'd crack 100k easy if you kept at it. Great work. Great stuff.
You have the best and the most easiest explanation!!! Thank you!
Thank you very clear easy to understand explanation
Thank you.. this will save me much more time in post. I'm a newbie. So exposures aren't always good. But missing the moment is unacceptable..
I already know all of this stuff but I still watched it because you made it!!
This is a great comparison video. I would like to see a similar one on compressed vs uncompressed raw. If the point of shooting raw is to get as much detail as possible then why shoot compressed if there is a loss in detail?
Great video! Super informative
This is so helpful, thank you! I was wondering why when I’m shootings in JPEG the image kinda auto edits. It seems obvious now 😂🤦🏼♀️
God bless and have a good day!! Also HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE 1 MILLION
Thank you.! Awesome Helpful Content
Great job David! One of the clearest, informative videos we've seen on this. Was a subscriber anyway from way back but somehow missed this video. These were things I knew about anyway but it's nice to see it presented in such an excellent manner. Just bought a new 1TB iPhone 13 Pro Max at a great price and looking forward to shooting lots of photos in Apple ProRAW. Doesn't have the new 48MP sensor, but it'll be fine and I saved $750 off the price of a month ago. . :)
Oh man, you'll be so stoked shooting Apple ProRAW files and working with them! The flexibility and latitude you have with them over JPG files is amazing!
Another great video David... Your on fire 🔥🔥🔥.
150k Subscribers, Congratulations!! Too the moon🚀🚀🚀

Great explanation, thank you.
Great explanation......do u shoot Raw in your gopros???? Or are u talking mainly about your higher end cameras?
Awesome video. Thanks!
Great vid very helpful!
I read stuff on conflicting sides. I generally want to get it right out of camera because I am trying to learn how to do get my camera to do what I want it to do. I just started doing Raw + JPG, I plan on just keeping the raw files on an external hard drive and then the JPGs in my Apple Photos. If I ever need a raw file, there it is, but I don't have to load up my personal life photos with huge files.
Thank you David from PHILIPPINES
great explanations!!!
The first video that made me actually consider shooting raw over jpeg. Good job!
Great video - thank you!
just the video i needed thank you!
You saved my ass on a few photos and gained a subscriber! Thanks man!!
What a great VID!
Having a CANON M50, do you know the differences between C Raw vs Raw?
I didn’t know we can adjust exposure by dragging the waves at the top right 🙄🙄🙄
I think the absolute white balance value is the best thing about RAW for me. Makes it much easier to homogenise white balance over a series of photos (say an event). I know some cameras have a white balance lock but mine doesn’t
Thanks mate you are amazing and love the way you explain.
You are a good teacher, friend. Thanks!
Awesome vidoe keep up the great vidoes!!
This was a good breakdown
Posted just two days too late :). I needed it on Sunday, but luckily my daugther could help me out.
Question: is there any equivalent in video also, as RAW-format itself does not exists in video-files? I shoot a lot of video/vlogs and I could use some more detailinformation to play with in postproduction.
omg very valuable information! thank you soo muchh!
You're so welcome!
Thanks for being useful!
You again have cut through the clutter and provided an explanation that even I can understand; Thank you.
NOW I get it...
Thanks for the simple explanation. I tend to over complicate.
Raw gives you much more color adjustment freedom. Thank you for this new tip! This is the first time I've understood raw vs jpeg. Thank you.
So how do I change camera settings to default to raw? First, how do I make sure I'm shooting raw?
what type the camera do you have?
how? I don't see any considerable difference!
Canon M50
This is a good example. I shoot with jpeg + raw. I’m not sure if I can edit raw files on my iPhone in Lightroom mobile. I don’t know which file type it imports from the camera to iPhone.
Thank you for the information
Thank you for this. I knew that there was a benfeit in shooting raw but I didn't exactly know why. I"m not a photographer I just like taking pictures. I just got back from a bucket list trip to Alaska and happened to catch the Northern Lights. I got some AMAZING pictures. However, I forgot that I had circular polorizer filter on my lens so I think the pictures aren't as bright as they could be. Thankfully...I shoot all of my Alakan trip picture in jpg + raw. The only image editing I've down is a crop and maybe a little brighten of jgp that's about it. However, I"m going to get Lightroom and edit once in a life time Northern Light and Glacier pictures so that I can have them printed and hang them in my office. Thank you for this!
What software/app do you use to edit your Raw pics ?
what do you recommend ?
Nicely explained!
Super! thanks for sharing :)
First! Love you vidéos !! Thanks for the content
Thank you! Super helpful! :))))))
I’ve been looking for a software that doesn’t wash out my raw files. I want the raw files but I want it to look exactly how I saw it on camera. I do like jpeg colors but when you shoot in raw the colors are gone. I understand that you have to edit the raw files but I don’t want them to look washed out. I’ve been trying to find softwares that makes raw images look like jpeg previews. So if I was to import a raw image onto this software will I see what I saw on the back of my camera screen? Please respond to me.
Thnk you for the info🙏
I don’t usually edit my pictures so I normally shoot on jpeg, but it really depends on whether Ik I could edit a picture to make it even better but I just do jpeg since I don’t post majority of my photos online to instagram. Mainly post on vsco
Great video. I do mostly landscape, so RAW handles high contrast better and is much better for tricky light balance. But for my grandkids sports and family stuff i like jpeg better. Spot on exposure fixes all.
Great advice 👍
O_O.... That's a HUGE difference in quality control!
Thank u man from India ❤
I have sony a58 and when i use the RAW my max.size pictures only 1920x1080 but JPG format has is 5456x3632. What do you think about it? Maybe I need change something in the setting? Although I didn't find anything there!
Where can I purchase numerous raw-format photos? Help appreciated.
Your new subscriber here. Thnks for the info, really helps a lot
New subscriber!!! so glad I found your channel(:
Finally, Jpeg and Raw in English! Well done!
Thanks for convincing me to shoot in RAW , you are awesome!
Hey, what other information do i get with raw? I am currently thinking of a "new" typ of lidar technology, where i would need to know the "time" of each pixel of the sensor. Can i get this information with raw? I would want to have a "string" for each pixel, that tells me its intensity over time. so like if i take a "picture! for 1/10 of a second, what i want is a multiple "slices" of the picture. So like what happens in the first 1/1000 of the 1/10 and so on. the more slices i have the more information of depth i would get. (from the time the light took from the cameras flash to get back to the sensor with light speed i can calculate the distance for all the pixels, that are then lit)
Is this something that is possible with the information within raw or would i need to develop custom hardware to get that kind of information from my sensor?
Thanks if someone answers
Okay that was what I needed to see thanks mate
Absolutely!
Can the GoPro hero 8 record video similar to this?
I switched back to JPEG, my issue is not having a software to use. I have the R7 canon so the DPP is somewhat of kicking my M1 mac fans to race like crazy. Do you have any suggestion for an free but easy to use program I can explore with? Not ready for a subscription. Please advise.
I shot in RAW before and couldn't seem to open the files on the computer. Why would this be? Should there be any difference or issue?
Thanks for this great explanation! I learned so much ❤️
What’s the equivalent file names for shooting videos?
What photo/video editing software are you using, thanks.
for some reason when I go to edit my raw pictures, they're so much more grainy/less defined/pixelated. To the point that there's no point in even editing it. When background writing comes up blockier - I'm not sure what my ambition to use raw is. I'd like to - but they turn up like crap. Any ideas??
Do you tend to shoot solely in RAW or do you tend to shoot in RAW and JPEG? I have a ZV-1 and I’ve never been sure if it’s better to shoot just RAW or RAW and JPEG combined.
Can you show any videos on Nikon cameras
hey, can you make studio tour!!!! please
WOW Thanx
Does raw files get compressed after editing? Why does it happen? Is it normal?
Need to check if the photo camera supports this format
Amazing video
the manner in which you placed your laptop in the shot, I was wondering if it's intentional but thinking your are a photographer, it definitely is
your so awesome I cant believe you dont have 2m subs yet and its crazy! if I were youtube I’d aim to get you at least 500k views per video
Just seeing the highlight adjustment taught me all i need to know. Raw always, no matter what
I just started shooting RAW and when I import my photos to Lightroom, my photos are extremely blurry, but look perfectly fine as a JPEG. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for convincing me to shot RAW!!!.. I always "meh'd" at RAW... now I will experiment with it more and see what I can produce.
