RAW images

[MattB]

So, if I understand this correctly, if you process the RAW image, it becomes a JPEG?

After post processing, you can save the image as a jpg or some other file type.

It is just like the negatives we used to have. You file them (preferably on an external and back-upped disc) and retrieve them whenever you want to do something special.

Save a photo as a JPEG for online use. The JPEG format reduces layers into a single layer, so it’s a good idea to keep a layered PNG, TIFF,BMP master also. Try not to re-save a JPEG often, because each time you make a change and re-save a JPEG the image loses some information.
