A thought regarding RAW...

Most of the time, strictly  speaking, JPEG's are enough for sharing, when it seems t be worth doing. OTOH, occasionally the odd gods of the universe conspire to let me have something worth processing. Then RAW is well worth it.

See this example, shot only as a JPEG. I was able to do a fair job on the image, but the limited resolution kept me from cropping the overall exposure. And it kept me from fully enhancing the figure standing on the outcropping (brave soul, or an idiot).

In the exposure, the figure almost blends into the outcropping. I spent more than a couple of minutes enhancing what was there. With a RAW exposure, it would have been much easier.

I also adjusted the color of the vegetation (some sort of evergreen?) that was closer to a brown than green. Being able to get into 300%+ enlargement would have made the job easier. Again, JPEG limited my options.

What to do? Simple, with 128, 256, and 512 Gb SD's available , shoot JPEG and RAW. No processing needed except for a winner of an exposure.
