You should post this in the BTL community Brent 😉 (just added a "tips" section) 😉
hmm I guess I would need to re-post it… because you cannot reshare it there or can I? hmmm

+Ed White I agree… mine is usually – hey – if you mess up like I have.. you might just be able to save your bacon…
I have a terrible tendency to shoot many different ways lately.. and when you walk from a studio setup to landscape and forget to oh lets say check your camera settings.. it can be painful… mainly after I get done hitting myself after looking at the shots ….
Well, for me it gives me incredible exposure and color latitude. It's not so much that it lets me correct, it just lets me plan to get the most data possible preserved into the JPG.

JPEG = a print
RAW = a neg

Feel free to join and share this in the Open Source Photography community too.
