OK, I admit it. When I shoot digital photographs, I shoot in JPG. Not RAW, I don't even know what RAW is, nor what to do with it. All I know is the files are really big, and I have to do stuff with them. But now, maybe, after reading this article, all that will change. "The problem is that the JPEG file is just a snapshot of a moment in time - nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't capture any information about the light available for you to be able to make changes to the exposure of the scene or the colours without actually deteriorating the quality of your image. So each change that you make from the time that you start editing your JPEG file results in some loss in quality."
