1. Explain the main differences between a raw and jpeg file.

The size of a JPEG vs. a RAW file is the main difference. RAW image files are much larger than JPEG (and other image file formats). This is because they contain all of the uncompressed raw image data captured by the sensors in your digital camera.

2. Which file is bigger RAW or Jpeg?

A RAW file will be two to six times the size of a JPEG file. RAW files are larger than JPEG files because they contain far more image data. All of the info is compressed into a smaller file size that’s easier to share in a JPEG image.

3. Can you change a Raw file to a Jpeg, once your photos are the computer? How?

Open the photographs in RAW mode in a program like Photoshop. Choose ‘Save As’ from the ‘File’ menu, then ‘.jpg’ from the drop-down list.

4. If you were shooting an important event would you shoot it RAW or Jpeg? Explain.

You will save time by shooting in JPEG. JPEG files move to memory cards and computers more quickly, allowing you to spend more time reviewing your photographs and less time waiting for them to load. This will allow you to review your work more quickly.
