If not, then you might consider doing some actual research on the subject to learn how and why you are so very, very wrong.

The information that a camera includes as part of a Raw file is much more in depth & detailed than the info that the camera includes as part of the Jpg file. This assumes that you can program your camera to take both types of files for a photo.
You can (on many cameras) select taking the style or styles you want; Raw, Jpg, or both together & several different sizes of each or both. This is where the Raw selection & the Jpg part company so to speak. The Raw photo has all the camera’s information of the photo much like a negative in a film camera. The Jpg information which is processed in the camera does not contain all of this information. Many of the in-camera settings, that you can preset, actually are used in determining how much in camera preprocessing for Jpgs is used before ever going to Photoshop or your post processing software. You might like to think of a Jpg as a Polaroid, & a Raw as a film negative. Both produce nice photos, but there is a big difference between the two. So, that’s the info that your friend was referring to.
The information that you are thinking about adding during Photoshop is actually the post processing changes that you can make to either of the two formats. The main difference here is that you can do so much more to the Raw file than can possibly be done to a Jpg, once again somewhat like the negative & the Polaroid. Now you can begin to understand the reason a photographer uses Raw files that are so much larger than the Jpg files.
So, your friend is definitely not stupid & is probably teaching the kids correctly, he’s just more informed about this subject than you. Another confusing bit of information that is part of this mix is called Metadata, but that’s something for another day.

Why would i need all that extra stuff that can't be used in a final print. Also, a camera should know the best way to process the information, not some program created by people who don't even work for the camera companies.
Like Leilanee said, the results of raw are not as good as jpeg. Seems to me my friend is way off base.

I do not always print from Jpeg as others have stated. Sometimes I actually print from TIFF, a file format that you cannot create from a Jpeg image. Well you can but it would be a sorry TIFF file to print from.Leilanee wrote:
