File Format

• 3 advantages of a RAW file: higher in dynamic range, more control over how image looks, higher quality images

• 1 disadvantage of a RAW file: not as sharp

• 3 advantage of a JPEG file: format is readable by any image program, high in contrast, sharper image quality

• 1 disadvantage of a JPEG file: color and resolution is lost

1. RAW retains all of the data after captured by the camera
2. A RAW file enables a photographer to edit white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors, and saturation after the image is taken
3. Factors that photographers must consider when deciding to shoot in RAW includes if your camera has the option to soot in RAW, or if your memory card has enough storage, and if it possible for you to convert RAW images to Jpeg 
4. An aspiring photographer may need to know how to work with RAW files if they wish to spend most of their time editing their images or are looking for greater flexibility and processing options.

1. File format I've used before is JPEG
2. The data in a raster file describes the characteristics of each individual pixel while a vector file contains a geometric description.
