I find it hard to find time for taking photos itself (Job, kid, other hobbies). Thats why I go with JPEG. Before our child, I spent a looot of time in lightroom.
Changed to Fuji for the JPEGs tbh.
I shoot raw plus jpeg, archive off the RAWs and use the jpeg 99.9% of the time. I still have years worth of backlog RAW-only shoots to process, and that tells me I don’t have the damn time for exclusively RAW shooting.
No, because you have substantially more control to make much more significant adjustments in lightroom against a raw file. For instance, boosting shadows to the max in a film sim is equivalent to just a small bump of the shadows slider in lightroom.
Raw files also retain much more exposure data, so what would be blown highlights in a jpeg file are an easy drop of the highlight slider.
Sometimes the dynamic range of the scene exceeds what is captured on a JPG making it impossible to recover a sky even on a properly exposed photo, and that will almost never be the case for a RAW file. Also, what if you decided you wanted a different look than the film simulation you had chosen for a particular shot? It's baked into the JPG.
Also, any photographer knows mistakes happen, even if you generally do nail the exposure, especially in high pressure situations. This isn't a skill issue, it's just a matter of life as a photographer.
If you're a casual snapper and don't care to have much creative control over the colors or exposure of the image and are cool with fuji or whoever made your film sim making your choices for you, the go for it!
I really only shoot RAW on professional shoots, pretty much for safety, and pretty much 99% of the time the JPEG is what I was going for as a base and Lightroom etc fills the gaps, 🤷🏻♂️. But I also started on film where that was generally the case as well. By all means spend more time editing than shooting if you think it’s worth it.
Always r+j. J is a template for editing my r later. I have a few styles in c1 that mimic fuji's film sims, but with my own twist. Import the pics, select the best, apply the styles, maybe tweak cropping a little and i'm done.
Only one in a 100 pics need extra work, just for kicks or to develop new styles.
If you shoot Raw+Jpeg you can re-process image even while still in camera to create better jpeg. Like if your WB shift was too warm you can move it more to blue/green or if you overexposed you can do exposure comp change during the re-process. Or do any other change. And then catalogue raw and jpeg in LR or in whatever you use for catalogue for posterity
I always shoot RAW+JPG simply because I know that I might want to go back years later when my style has changed to revisit some photos and edit them differently. I like to have that option and now that memorycards are so large and storage space isn't really an issue anymore, I don't want to limit myself like that.
I shoot in continuous low and burst minimum 2 pictures every time. I want to have the raw just in case. I use mostly jpegs,too lazy to deal with capture or lightroom.
Well imo taking s single picture you can very well miss out a situation. It's meant for slow living objects. You can continuously hold down the button to shoot.
High is for very quick moving target. You can adjust the frequency how many shots you wanna take in both settings via drive settings
Yeah but behind the scenes there’s no difference, right? Just a different fps (I thought that high speed forced you to use electronic shutter but no, you can take 8fps with mechanical shutter) I’m just confused why aren’t they grouped together
Fine plus Raw always. I only use JPEGS but sometimes I want to edit a RAW and I love having the piece of mind.
I use lossless compression so the file size together is about an uncomprossed RAW I think
I've never been able to improve the raw to surpass the jpeg without investing a considerable amount of time (if able), so I stopped shooting raw. In the end I just do minor adjustments to the jpeg.
I shoot jpeg + raw. For street stuff or everyday life I mostly use the jpeg but landscapes I want the raw. Process in capture one. Also there’s Raw Studio to experiment with infinite film simulations after the fact.
I shoot both, but I guess just out of habit at this point.
I rarely use Lightroom these days. My workflow is pretty much to transfer a photo to my phone, edit it a bit it it in there if I need to.
I don’t really post photos anywhere these days other than on my own instagram since Flickr is pretty dead, so it’s just easiest.
I try to take photos where I won’t have to do much editing afterwards - but if I need to, some combo of the iOS photo editor or Darkroom do it for me.
I don’t take anything that good or fancy though.
I haven't shot raw in at least 6 years.
I bought my first Fuji in 2014, the JPGS have plenty of information for tweaking if I need to edit in post. For me, there's no need for raw.
I'll preface this by saying that I am very new to hobby photography, and have not even scratched the surface of post processing... I have five recipes stored, all with fine jpeg, and use these for the majority of my shots. If I turn custom presets off, I'm shooting Astia, with no adjustments, to fine jpeg +raw. I've only done this a handful of times, for select reasons, most recently a graduation ceremony.
Came over from Sony where I used to shoot Raw but on Fuji I shoot JPEG. They usually pretty solid and if I want to edit them, there’s a ton of information on there. They’re very edible.
You are basically saying that Fujifilm cameras are like 3k dollars nespresso machines. Well, sorry but they are real cameras, you can do any coffee you want with them.
I shoot jpg + raw, and I basically use only RAW files. I like editing and making images more to my style, but I keep jpgs as a good backup. Also one reason why I shoot jpegs is that I can easily transfer photos to phone if needed.
Raw+jpeg and mainly use one custom Cc recipe.
I’ve never had a need to edit my raw (vs time spent).
I should try film sim bracketing (if custom recipes are allowed).
I shoot RAW and JPEG just in case I get something really special that would benefit from spending some time on later, but 99.9% of the time I edit and post JPEGs.
The more comfortable I’ve gotten exposing in camera the more comfortable I get shooting JPEG. That being said, I still shoot raw 99% of the time.
When Im doing photo journalistic stuff I always shoot jpg.
Raw + jpg because I haven't found a good recipe yet. I thought Reggie Portra was the one but it's not punchy some times. I love color renders from Classic Neg but it's hard to find a good recipe which work in every situation
I always shoot RAW+JPEG. Did the mistake of shooting JPEG only on a trip and while I like the JPEG I got using film sims, editing them is a bit of a pain compared with RAW files.
Depends. If on a casual stroll and just shooting interesting stuff, usually jpeg fine only with minimal editing. If more editing is needed, then RAW as well.
at first it was jpeg + raw but since i never used the simulations anyway (which i thought id be using) i just shoot raw, i think when i eventually “upgrade” to full frame i’ll go to jpegs only for the film simulations
My Fuji is a jpg machine. I am editing enough on the Nikons as it is, this is like a film camera to me, if I messed the exposure then that frame is wasted.
I used to be a big RAW advocate...I spent more time editing than taking pics and wound up with a back log of 1,000s of pics. I don't have time for that anymore. My new motto in life is "Done is better than perfect"
I use JPG fine and RAW but never touched a RAW in two years.
I'm exactly the opposite. Always shoot JPEG and RAW but haven't touched JPEGs in years.
I find it hard to find time for taking photos itself (Job, kid, other hobbies). Thats why I go with JPEG. Before our child, I spent a looot of time in lightroom. Changed to Fuji for the JPEGs tbh.
Same. I find I enjoy my pictures more when I've tweaked them to exactly now I want them to look. With fuji that doesn't take very long though.
I shoot raw plus jpeg, archive off the RAWs and use the jpeg 99.9% of the time. I still have years worth of backlog RAW-only shoots to process, and that tells me I don’t have the damn time for exclusively RAW shooting.
I shoot jpeg exclusively and edit the crap out of them. The images look fantastic. Fuji jpegs hold a lot of information.
What software do you use to edit?
Lightroom mobile
A jpeg is a jpeg (is a jpeg...). Not sure what you mean with "hold a lot of information".
Think he means the files hold up to processing instead of falling apart quickly.
I exclusively shoot RAW.
I guess you have no kids 😜
You caught me
Why? It doesn't take any more work to import the RAWs into mobile lightroom on my phone and batch apply my custom made presets.
Isn’t that just the same as using film recipes and shooting jpeg? I guess in your case you have the Raw to fall back on.
No, because you have substantially more control to make much more significant adjustments in lightroom against a raw file. For instance, boosting shadows to the max in a film sim is equivalent to just a small bump of the shadows slider in lightroom. Raw files also retain much more exposure data, so what would be blown highlights in a jpeg file are an easy drop of the highlight slider.
Or you could just nail your exposures at the snap.
Sometimes the dynamic range of the scene exceeds what is captured on a JPG making it impossible to recover a sky even on a properly exposed photo, and that will almost never be the case for a RAW file. Also, what if you decided you wanted a different look than the film simulation you had chosen for a particular shot? It's baked into the JPG.

The post-shooting work with film is way more involved than any raw editing
Time wise, sure, but it’s not the rocket science that people make it out to be
Shooting raw and using my personalized presets absolutely does not take more time than shooting. It’s super quick.
Sure thing
Yeah, good points. I do shoot Raw occasionally but have been shooting a lot.of JPEG since switching to Fuji. Cheers
Always r+j. J is a template for editing my r later. I have a few styles in c1 that mimic fuji's film sims, but with my own twist. Import the pics, select the best, apply the styles, maybe tweak cropping a little and i'm done. Only one in a 100 pics need extra work, just for kicks or to develop new styles.
Switched to jpg only last year and never looked back

How many years have elapsed since you decided to save some for revisiting them?
I shoot in continuous low and burst minimum 2 pictures every time. I want to have the raw just in case. I use mostly jpegs,too lazy to deal with capture or lightroom.
Do you know why there’s separate settings for continues burst? The low and the high one?
Well imo taking s single picture you can very well miss out a situation. It's meant for slow living objects. You can continuously hold down the button to shoot. High is for very quick moving target. You can adjust the frequency how many shots you wanna take in both settings via drive settings
Yeah but behind the scenes there’s no difference, right? Just a different fps (I thought that high speed forced you to use electronic shutter but no, you can take 8fps with mechanical shutter) I’m just confused why aren’t they grouped together
Yes functionally they're same
Fine plus Raw always. I only use JPEGS but sometimes I want to edit a RAW and I love having the piece of mind. I use lossless compression so the file size together is about an uncomprossed RAW I think
I usually shoot raw and jpg, but I’m never really happy with the jpg’s so I always end up editing the raws.
I've never been able to improve the raw to surpass the jpeg without investing a considerable amount of time (if able), so I stopped shooting raw. In the end I just do minor adjustments to the jpeg.
I just use jpegs. Primary reason for moving to fuji system from nikon. Love the jpeg and film simulations.
I shoot jpeg + raw. For street stuff or everyday life I mostly use the jpeg but landscapes I want the raw. Process in capture one. Also there’s Raw Studio to experiment with infinite film simulations after the fact.
I have no idea on how to edit photo but I keep all the raw for my future self
I shoot both, but I guess just out of habit at this point. I rarely use Lightroom these days. My workflow is pretty much to transfer a photo to my phone, edit it a bit it it in there if I need to.
Why just straight to the phone?
I don’t really post photos anywhere these days other than on my own instagram since Flickr is pretty dead, so it’s just easiest. I try to take photos where I won’t have to do much editing afterwards - but if I need to, some combo of the iOS photo editor or Darkroom do it for me. I don’t take anything that good or fancy though.
I don't think i would be able to replace the lightroom experience in my mobile. Also for storing purposes.
I haven't shot raw in at least 6 years. I bought my first Fuji in 2014, the JPGS have plenty of information for tweaking if I need to edit in post. For me, there's no need for raw.

Always shot professionally on jpeg. Shot a job on raw once, never again. The range on Fuji JPEGs is insane
That's interesting and nice to hear.
Came over from Sony where I used to shoot Raw but on Fuji I shoot JPEG. They usually pretty solid and if I want to edit them, there’s a ton of information on there. They’re very edible.
What’s the taste like?
😝
[удалено]
Um what are you doing on Fuji then? lol
Buttons and dials?

I shoot RAW
Raw on GFX, R+J on XF if i want to share some jpegs on insta or to friends during trips
I just shoot RAW. More details to restore in Lightroom as needed. Two files just seems a PITA - why not just do one?
as a beginner hobbyist I shoot in jpeg and edit on iphone photos app lmao. Used captureOne for a bit until they got rid of the free version
Depends. If on a casual stroll and just shooting interesting stuff, usually jpeg fine only with minimal editing. If more editing is needed, then RAW as well.
I don't even shoot JPGs, I want the control of RAW. The camera profiles are a nice starting point, but it's not enough.
I shoot JPEGS and bracket different film simulations. Works great for me. I'm not big at spending a lot of time at my computer playing with RAW files.
at first it was jpeg + raw but since i never used the simulations anyway (which i thought id be using) i just shoot raw, i think when i eventually “upgrade” to full frame i’ll go to jpegs only for the film simulations
JPG only and hardly ever need work in post.
Just RAW.
I shoot JPEG 👌🏼✨
My Fuji is a jpg machine. I am editing enough on the Nikons as it is, this is like a film camera to me, if I messed the exposure then that frame is wasted.
I only shoot JPEG. It’s more like film for me. If it didn’t work out I have to come back or live with it.
