RAW Format Is a Lifesaver
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 12:00 PM
"Raw is an invisible wonder. Photographers rave about the Raw format of their cameras and the exploits of their favorite Raw converters, but prepress never sees a raw image. Adobe's announcement of DNG makes a lot of noise—but no one seems to be writing DNG files—what's going on here? For now, Raw is a format for photographers only. To simplify matters, Raw is the digital equivalent of a negative. Equivalent? No, it's really, really better! If you have a raw file, you can change the exposure and white balance of a shot considerably, long after you've taken it. This is a lifesaver. It's a miracle. It's real technological progress. It's a genuine innovation that can pay for utility bills and food!"
