Explain the main difference between a raw and jpeg file.

They have different file sizes which is the main way the two files differ. That and image quality is different among the two. RAW has the highest quality pictures. The speed in which they are processed is also different as jpeg is faster in this area than raw.

Which file is bigger, RAW or Jpeg?

A raw file is often bigger than a Jpeg, ranging from around 6 times the size. Because raw files carry more data than jpeg files do, it’s bigger. Jpeg files compress the data to fit its smaller file size.

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

You have to open the RAW file, copy it, save, and select “export as” and click on JPEG. Then you’ll find your two separate files: JPEG and RAW.

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

I would use RAW as it’s of the best quality and is something to edit later on. Images you want to capture that will have lots of detail and vibrant color will be possible when shooting in RAW.
