RAW vs. JPEG – What’s The Difference? by Austin James Jackson

Wondering whether you should be using RAW or JPEG? While most photographers shoot in RAW to retain the most detail and data in their images, there is certainly a time and place for JPEG images. If you don’t plan to edit your images or need a quick turnaround, JPEG photos look superior coming out of the camera compared to their RAW counterparts. On the other hand, RAW images retain more data, allowing you to further push and pull the highlights and shadows in post-processing. The choice ultimately depends on the individual photographer, so make sure you consider your own use before picking if you’d like to shoot in RAW or JPEG. Austin Jackson is a landscape and outdoor photographer based in Southern Utah. He loves capturing great light in some of the world’s most stunning locations. In addition to capturing his own images, Austin enjoys the content creation side of things, creating countless videos to help outdoor photographers improve their craft.
