Cool, I'll probably check that out. Haven't messed with raw yet, even tho the ppl over on POTN swear by it...

Every thing that I shoot is in raw format...it just makes more sense for what I want. It allows you more control over tweaking your image, and it captures a lot more information when you actually take the picture. The downside is that every picture I take is between 10 and 18 mbytes in size.

Unless I plan on uploading it to the web or taking it to get a print, I'll usually save it back as a raw file. But when I do save it to print, I'll save it as a jpeg with the least amount of compression. Every shot I have is backed up somewhere as a raw image...

if you are doing adjustments to the images, make them in individual layers and save the work as a .PSD for later tweakage.
