Three advantages of a RAW file: 1. Processed in computer, not camera. 2. Easier to manipulate properly. 3. Better richness, sharpness, and color range.
One RAW disadvantage: 1. Not suitable for printing directly from camera.
Three advantages of JPEG file: 1. Suitable for sharing or printing directly from camera. 2. Take less space/memory. 3. Readable by any image program.
One JPEG disadvantage: 1. Some color is lost when storing the file.
1. All data is retained.
2. Whitebalance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors, and saturation.
3. RAWs are significantly larger than JPEGs, not all DSLRs have the RAW shooting capability, RAW's can be converted to JPEGs, but not the other way around.
4. An aspiring photographer needs to know how to work with RAW files because editing photos is a very important part of professional and studio photography. Many photographers edit more than they shoot and RAW files open more possibilities with editing that JPEGs.
