I see the point in using RAW only or RAW+JPG, but not in using the JPG setting alone - maybe on emergencies, hundreds of shots to do and no space in the card, no spare cards.
Bob Williams gave what I thought was a very good and reasoned explanation of why he might want to use "JPG ONLY". <quote> When I'm on holiday, most of what I shoot is snapshots, with occasionally some 'art' shots in there as well. I often get asked by friends if they can have a copy of one of the snapshots, or I might want to upload it there and then to social media. So, on holiday, I use RAW+JPG, when trying to be creative, always just RAW. </quote> If you are using RAW at all the implication is that you are later going to use a photoeditor (you choose shotwell, I choose darktable, some people use Adobe's Photosohp) to produce a JPG that is just what you want, cropped, highlighted, toned. Quite possibly more than one. Maybe other enhancements: sharpening, noise reductions, vignetting,. All beyond what the camera can do. Or you might run a VM windows and use the vendor's photoeditor. The point is Why bother have the camera produce a redundant JPG at all? Bob may make the point that those holiday snapshots he immediately shares are immedite shares, but he might ALSO want to do a proper edit of same, so he has the RAW as well. Realistically, he's more likely to run out of space (and battery power) on a vacation, isn't he? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
