RAW file format?

13 years 6 months ago #2694 by Zeta
Can anyone explain to me about the RAW file format. What is it used for, is it better than the jpeg file format that I normally use? Are there any pros and cons?

Wrong. You can upload it, you just need special software to view it, which is included with your camera or in the case of Macs with your computer (iphoto).

Penny, this thread is over 3 months old. Don't worry that no one replied to it, they're not coming back. :)

Google is the most powerful photography tool out there.
