But if we are talking about that.


But I am doing a lot more for hire shooting and with my personal shooting I'm trying to up my game. I'm trying to take my photography to the next level. Maybe full time pro, not sure yet. But I want to be able to shoot at that level. So no out of the camera Jpeg for me, saving RAW files and post-processing everything.
I derailed the thread a few posts back. HEIF was brought up and it just morphed from there.

There is nothing at all wrong with doing it as you do. For years I was the same. Shooting for a client you defiantly want to the best.
I have quit a few pictures that were published in trade magazines, the local news paper and a few other places.
All of those I definitely used the RAW and PP.
99% of the pictures I take only family and friends may see, honestly they do not see the difference between a picture I PP or just comes as a JPEG out of the camera. At some point I decided to just keep the RAW and go back and maximize the ones that I wanted to maximize.

My thoughts with archiving is this, will someone in the future pic up the picture file and have the right RAW software to open and manipulate the picture. Might TIFF be a better or still common format in the future.
