RAW/JPG Article

I can't speak for anyone, but in my case, I used JPEG exclusively for my first 5 years of digital SLR and defended its merits ardently. What I discovered was, there wasn't a single image in my JPEG shots that I couldn't improve, even with just a little PP in PSE#. I was finessing the whole gamut, contrast, sharpen, noise, saturation etc. anyways. After getting the @900 and Adobe LTR-3, I went straight to RAW and discovered that it was no more difficult or even much different from what I was already doing in my JPEG files. The big difference was, I ended up with better contol and a much, much improved finished image that was superior to any of my JPEGs that preceded.
