Awesome explanation. Clear, concise, and sprinkled with humor (and fruit loops). Very refreshing way to keep the viewer engaged about a topic that has been beaten to death. 👊👍
Hey thank you so much Sean!!! Really appreciate the kind words sir!!! 🙏
Super! Excellent demonstration "tools" (the Fruit Loops). I'm a long-time photo pro - who took out ten years to teach public elementary school . From real-world experience trying to do this, I recognize how your high energy, demo steps , use of example, and tight scripting make this video very effective.
This was explained very well, I used raw + JPEG today and had great results. Having the JPEG to compare it to is the ultimate key. I can't believe how much more detail I retained while doing wild life photography, now I feel like I can finally crop!
You've got to be one of the best youtubers out there. Currently going through the majority of your videos and subscribed. Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much Jordan!! 🙏 🙏 🙏
I used to be just RAW only. Since I moved to Fuji, I shoot both but I rely mostly on getting it right in JPG depending on jobs. If it's a portraitd or landscape, I work on those in RAW. If its events, behind the scenes work, time with family, I rely only on film presets i have saved in camera and what comes out is what comes out. I've learned to let go and keep that roughness and imperfection. But the images are beautiful. If it's a batch and i want to use Classic Negative, then I have my RAW and I'll process it through cap 1.
I love that Fuji has let me be more free and not be shackled by one frame of mine. I don't have to try and be perfect and control everything. I can let some things just be.
This is the best analogy I've ever seen regarding RAW v JPG. A great way to describe the differences between the two. Have to say I really like your presentation style too.
Thank you so much Ian!!! That's so awesome to hear!!! Cheers to you sir!!! 🙏
I love your channel Chris! your humour and humility and your easy to understand approach to learning about photography and camera functions. I always look forward to watching your new videos, peace brother!
Thank you!!! You totally made my weekend!! And that's saying a lot because it was an awesome one!!! 👍
Love the fruit loops analogy.
And, I imagine that was far easier to clean-up than the ISO ice-cube tray analogy.
MUCH MUCH easier!
Such an informative and helpful video! Appreciate it👏🏻
You're really good at this UA-cam thing. Great performance, great graphics, great editing. And thanks for posting this wonderful analogy!
That's awesome Charles!! Thank you so much for letting me know! You ROCK sir!!!! 👍
Thank you for the explanation! I now understand the difference and can make informed decisions on when to shoot RAW vs. JPEG.
Awesome!! 👍
I liked your videos even before I've started watching them! And I've never regret! Awesome work! Thank you!
Wow, thanks Zeke!!!! That's SO AWESOME to hear... you made my day sir!!!!
What a great explanation! Congrats and thank you!
I’m not a professional and not even an amateur photographer, I just love photography and I only get to take photos on days out/holidays with the family or special occasions, so for me I’m just shooting jpeg and I don’t see myself shooting RAW any time soon, but it’s great knowing what these cameras are capable of. The JPEG’s are awesome and being able to take so many photos and having smaller backup sizes works well for me.
Thanks as always for the informative video Chris 👍
Thank you so much Daran!!! 👍 Yeah, the JPEGs out of the Fuji are the best anywhere around!!
This week I've just had a friend who's a beginner join me on a last minute shoot and we had little to no time to take her through the basics. Sharing these with her now cause they're so well made!
You'd make a great kids teacher for sure too!! Love you man!
Thank you so much Joaquim!!! That means a lot to me!!!!! 🙏
@@pal2tech 😻😻🤗
Such a great video! Thanks buddy. 🙌
Love your style of Videos. So easy to understand. Thanks so much
Thank you so much Mat!! 🙏
Superb as always
Another great video that's fun to watch.
Ive always shot raw+jpeg ever since my camera gave me the option.
Awesome!!
One of the most fun video i've seen that explains the different!
Thank you so much Ingi!! 🙏
Very simplified and easily “digestible” explanation :-). Bravo sir!
Thank you so much!! 🙏👍🏻
As good an explanation of the differences as you're going to get anywhere.
Thank you so much Nick!! 👍
I always love your way of explaining things. I’ve tended to shoot both, particularly with Fujifilm. Partly because it’s nice to only crop, and partly because i’m no good at editing. Somehow I always make everything look worse.
Thank you so much!! Keep at it pal... you WILL find it easier and your shots will get a lot better.
This was a very clear explanation . I finally understand the differences between Raw and JPEG. Thank you
Thank you so much Lawrence!!! 🙏
As someone who just recently got an XE4 and is currently shooting on both raw and jpeg this was really helpful
Thanks Chris, you've done it again, very clear the difference between jpeg and Raw files. Off to the Supermarket to get some Frootloops now.
Hahaha!!! Tony!! Thanks so much man!!!! 🙏🙏
@@pal2tech So is this what you do?
Shoot raw photos, then convert them to jpeg, and then edit them thru photoshop/lightroom?
You convinced me to use RAW photos. Great explanations!
Great to hear! And thank you!
Your channel has been so helpful! I've basically learned everything about my Fuj camera on here😂. Fujifilm should pay you.
Great explanation. 👍
Thanks! Your manner of describing things always motivate me to conduct further research and practices. Did you happen to publish a video that sort of describes the basic steps of using lightroom while editing a photo?
Not going to lie, I didn’t even care about jpeg until I recently switched to Fuji from canon.
Been binging your channel since! Keep up the amazing work bud 👊🏼❤️
What a lens cap!!!! :) I always wanted one (with the corresponding hood) on my 16/1.4 ) :). One more excellent and informative video :)
Thanks Laszlo!! Yeah, there was no way I'd be using that incredible 16mm w/o it. I just had to bling it out!!!! 👍
pal2tech 👍
another great video! and tasty.
I get used to shoot both and keeping the jpeg / raws in different memory cards (on my XT2). fujifilm jpegs are so good sometimes I just use it s.o.o.c. to post online. but I save the raws on my storage. hope you are having a great weekend there.
Thank you so much Miguel!! You too!
Mate your channel made me just buy a XT3 thank you for your amazing work xo
Thank you so much!!! Wow!! And welcome to the CRAZY wonderful Fuji Family!!! 👍
Great explanation, especially the point about upgrades to editors to bring out future IQ; seldom mentioned in other posts on this topic.👍 Suggest follow up vid comparing edits capability for different RAW compressions - same or different results. Feed the dog, already!💀
Your last sentence made me spit coffee at my monitor. Thanks, really. 👍 Great idea on the different RAW compressions. I just got asked another question about that -- and it's probably a topic worth visiting for sure.
I'm 50/50 on this as an enthusiast. I chose Fuji as the JPGs are so great straight from the camera so I don't waste hours tweaking images and can share with people straight away when I've shot an event via my phone, sharing 2 days later is too late! I started with an EOS300D 16 years ago - have I ever gone back to RAW image......? I do shot RAW if the lighting is awkward and may need extra work though. Great video as always, thanks.
Yep, many people now certainly have to push those images out as quickly as possible. Great that you can know when to switch over and necessitate the shooting in RAW when you know the conditions need it. 👍
agree. Jpgs from my xt4 are amazing in my opinion
Standing O with this video my man. Can’t get enough of that suuuuuuugaaaah crisp - whatever happened to those? They had enough?
Thanks for the detailed info
No problem!
So RAW files have more sugar :). Great video as usual!!
Hahahaha Juan!!! And yes, most DEFINITELY!!!
Another great video!
Thank you so much Tammy!!! 👍
thank you for this tutorial!
Great video !!
I love love love your channel and videos.
Hey Anthony!!!! Thank you so much!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏.
A M A Z I N G explanation. Thanks!
Nice video. For those of us who already understand the JPEG - Raw difference there are still a few compelling reasons to shot JPEG. Storage maybe be getting cheaper but it is still an additional expense and another ‘faff’ to organise especially if you also include back-ups. Then there is the time element of having to sit in front of a computer to both see, and recreate, what you have shot. Yes, RAW files clearly have so much more potential than JPEGS for post processing but do we always need that? These days we can take so many photos keeping up with the post processing can be tough on schedules. Another worry about RAW is obsolescence. Will the technology move on making our current RAW files out of date and the processing software needed for them difficult to come by? There is a certain liberation in taking a photo (JPEG) and knowing that, apart from being able to do all the adjustments that you can do with a RAW file but to a lesser extent, that’s that. It’s a bit like shooting in film.
Great points!! 👍🏻 and yeah, people have less and less time these days to be stuck in front of computers editing.
The funny thing about photographers shooting raw or jpeg with expensive gear is often that they both do it for the same reason: They take photography seriously. The ones who shoot raw want to get the most out of their shots by post processing, the ones who shoot jpegs want the challenge of not having this possibility. I remember in film times some people developed their images with the film perforation visible to proof that they didn‘t do any crops in the process. It seems to me the same idea.
Exactly!
Cereal looks so good!
best teacher ever.
I love both, and with copy
And paste attributes editing raw photos isn’t a chore either. But great video Mr. Pal
Very true!!! Thanks Brandon!!!
Very well done!
Thank you Jeannine!! 🙏
Based on the title of the video, I thought you were going to talk about the age-old jpg vs raw argument as it relates to Fujifilm cameras where a lot of people trust the in-camera processing so much that they stopped shooting RAW with Fuji, instead of a crash course in the difference between the two formats. Good introduction to the topic, just somewhat misleading on the title a little bit. All your content is excellent, by the way. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the channel.
Thanks Arnold! And good point about the title!!!
I love the jpgs out of Fuji camera to. I shoot in RAW an Jpg, but the RAWs in moment will be an backup.
I want to mention though shooting JPEG with FujiFilm X-series cameras gives you the ability to take advantage of their awesome film simulations which I honestly do appreciate having that “look” in the photo.
Your videos are great! I bought my first Fujifilm camera, an X-T5, largely based on info from your videos. I'm having trouble figuring out what IQ settings get "baked in" to RAW files. When I set IMAGE QUALITY to RAW (only), I see that several IQ menu settings are still available, e.g. FILM SIMULATION. I thought these settings applied only to JPG output, so am confused why they're still available when IQ is set to RAW only. Any light you can shed on this will be appreciated.
Loved the video! XD
Great explanation 😊👏🏼
Thank you so much Tarun!!! You ROCK sir!!!
@@pal2tech im 25 year old Sir & Taking care Of Grandpa Photo Studio By Me & my Father Im using xt3 🙏🏼
This is exactly the best explanation video to show to viewers the difference btwn RAW & JPEG. By the way, some photographer said that Fujifilm Jpeg is the best among others APSC camera?
Wow! Mahammad!! Thank you so much!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏. That really means a lot to me and you've totally made my day!! I do believe that Fuji JPEGs are the best you will find any any APS-C camera currently.
awesome video! What about compressed raw vs uncompressed raw?
Great info Chris back to your loops lol.
Straight back to them. I'm getting loopy.
Master in Communication!
Ha! Thanks Diego! 👍
Hi pal2tech, I understand the colour bit but is there much difference if you shoot B&W especially if you don't want a great deal of the grey scale, eg street photography?
Hello! Thanks for your video. When I upload the pictures into Capture One, the RAF images are much darker than the JPEG's, why is that? Thanks.
Hi, love the videos 🤘🏼 When i have my xt4 in normal + raw it says that the raw folder has no images in. Any advice?
It's very difficult to concentrate with comedy in your videos 😂 Great content!
Thanks 😅
When I edit my raw fujifilm x t3 photo I edit black and white, them save it as a cmyk in photoshop ready for print but when I got to max spielmann to print 20×16 or any size it as a dark blue look to it. Do you know what is happening, could you make a video on how to save fujifilm photos in cmyk for print. Thanks
I am very very knew to fujifilm, and just got a xt5. Beautiful camera and photos are beautiful i was watching your video in class. Very informative but i wanted to ask a question. If i wanted to shoot with recipes, and not edit anything will RAW and jpeg both support it or not? I know it probably sounds dumb but ive been hearing things around and i wanted to check in with a professional
Great video
Thanks!
Hi great info, again. Not sure if you will see this since this is an older video. If I shoot raw only in camera, and I have taken a photo and then I view the photo in camera, is that still a jpeg showing on the screen? If I shoot raw + jpeg, is it possible the histogram would be different in the jpeg than a raw? Still figuring it out .....but when I set my camera to raw + jpeg, I am almost certain my photo files in camera did not show blown out whites. But when I bring the files home & view on the desktop they are blown out. I have now set my camera to raw only. Any input appreciated. I cannot find the answer anywhere.
I need a suggestion, i got xt5 and xf 16 80mm lens. What else lens i need for travel photpgraphy?
Hey so I just got a fuji xt4 and adter i take a pic, it stores for like 1-2 secods, it says storing on the screen. Idk if this is how it should be or i need to change some settings or something is wrong with my camera. Any advice?
All of my raw files (thousands) are just numbered, with no sample image. How do I fix them to contain a sample image so I can choose the right file out of thousands? Currently I have to load them into Lightroom or capture one to see what I have.
Can you please do a video about processing Fuji raw files for quality prints? 🍻
This Is the first time i Really understand what is jpg and raw... Even though my English level is like a 3yld kid.... I think you should be a English teacher or teacher.... You explain things very clearly....
Thank you so much Frank!!!! That's so awesome to hear and I really appreciate the kind words!!! All the best to you sir!! 🙏
Thanks for another good video, Chris. I've had a question about applying Fujifilm film simulations to Raw files in Lightroom, which I often do. When you do that, are you applying the entire Jpeg creation algorithm, and therefore losing a bunch of information? Or are you just getting the 'look' while retaining the ability to do further edits with complete information?
Hey Stephen! You are getting 'the look' while retaining the ability to do further edits. That's why it's a win-win for sure with RAW.
@@pal2tech Excellent! Thank you, Chris!
I use Capture One with the Fuji RAWs if I want to print something or make a crop in. The RAWs have much better/more details then the JPEGs (except maybe ACROS). Fortunately Capture One can recreate the Fujifilm simulations quite well.
They are the BEST for that. C1 actually works in partnership with Fuji to ensure the film sims are perfect.
I am sure you have helped people a lot with this explanation. Just to add I won't even print off from a jpeg (PSD only) and sure as hell I don't use sRGB only AdobeRGB, in-camera, and on the computer in RAW and photoshop. Maybe you can do some tutorials on these subjects that will help your subscribers push their quality even higher. New cameras and lenses are not always the answer. Owning an expensive stove will not make you a great chef!
Great point Iain!! Love the chef analogy! 👍🏻
One day when I'm no longer living abroad and have access to an actual PC with editing software and hard drives, I'll probably shoot raw+jpeg but for now I'll just stick to jpegs. Nice explanation though, I found the comparisons while editing very informative.
Thanks!! And good plan!!
What is the difference between shooting video on Full frame and ASPC camera?
thanks for explaining all of that ! what do you think of lossless compressed raw on fuji cameras ?
Hi Galterius! I've heard the difference is negligible. However, on some computers (mine being one of them) I can't get the preview in file explorer to work with compressed RAWs. It works only on RAW uncompressed. So at this point, I just always shoot uncompressed. I want EVERY SINGLE possible best bit of data that I'm archiving.
@@pal2tech that makes sense 👍
I am lucky it works on mine then 😅
thanks for your fine video. question: can i edit jpgs in capture one?
Yes you can!
When shooting raw + jpeg to separate SD cards, does anyone else feel like the raw still has the film simulation on it ? Is this a setting I have to change?
I only shot RAW and use Capture1. If your a FUJI user, this to me is the best combo since Capture1 allows you to convert the RAW files to any of the FUJI film simulations, plus you have the versatility of having the RAW data for corrections.
Agree. I need to get my lazy ass back into C1 and make some tutorials on that.
Hi are there any free editing software that works with fuji files ?
How big are the file sizes in video..?? Raw/Jpeg for the fujifilm x-t4?
That depends on how long the video footage is and what resolution you are shooting at.
Brand new user from Sony - - and I usually shoot to the 1st card RAW and the 2nd card JPEG. For my new Fuji, I just selected RAW+JPEG. However, when I pull my RAWs from the camera, I SWEAR the image is exactly the same as the JPG - it seems to take on all the qualities of the processed JPG. What am I doing wrong? I assumed the RAW would not be processed at all.
90% of the shots I take are jpegs and out of a Fuji the jpegs are excellent. I also shoot raw and store the raw files in a cloud but have yet to go retrieve any of them
Because quite honestly, with the resolution of modern-day DSLRs (48Mp+) You can always just reduce the size of the JPEG to keep it at 300 DPI and still easily print a 11x17 photo. Also modern Adobe software have great grain removing tools that will let you expand them even larger if needed.
It’s like anything else the value in the eyes of the beholder. There are some professionals photographers from the videos I see on UA-cam just like I’m now watching your video on UA-cam who say all they shoot is JPEG or like the person Who complain about medium format cameras that’s not shooting 20 frames per second yet When I grow up with film cameras they were shooting sports With cameras that only shot three frames per second.
I am relatively new to Photography, my question would be: if I select Fine+RAW and I want to choose to RAW to edit it, how do i do it? Like how do I select that I want the RAW not the JPG
Since there are so many raw formats, isn’t there a risk that your favourite app will not be able to read the files in the future? This has happened to me with my first digital pictures from Minolta digital cameras.
Thank you, I was just trying to understand the advantages. Do the RAW files retain the Fuji film simulation data like the JPEG format? Cheers
No. As said - RAW is direct sensor reading + metadata. Film simulations are an image processing added after that and shown only into JPEGs. The metadata of the RAW however contains which film simulation you had selected when you took the photo, so Capture One will apply their film simulations automatically.
Thank Arron! They don't -- they only retain the entire value of the sensor's data. So, you can then open/process in LR, PS, or even the free Fujifilm X RAW converter software and make any film simulation you want from it. Think of the RAW as a negative, and you can then print b/w, color, sepia, or a combination, etc.
Thank you both for your helpful replies. Like you say, best to capture both formats just in case!
So is this what you do?
Shoot raw photos, then convert them to jpeg, and then edit them thru photoshop/lightroom?
You never mentioned the fact that when you edit raw the image they are way darker when you open them in the editing software and when I try to fix it on lightroom I just get so much grain.
I shoot raw format to both SD cards of my X-T4. This way I instantly have a backup copy of every photo I take.
You can use your camera's image processor to get a JPEG from a raw file by using the free Fujifilm X RAW Studio software.
Yep, great point. I was going to go over the Fuji X RAW Studio, but ran out of time (friggin video was already about 10 minutes and was supposed to be a FAST Friday, LOL)
You can do the same processing that Raw Studio does in camera. On a raw image in preview, press Q; you'll have all the adjustments there.
I would love to see you do a video on how you deal with the working effect in Lightroom
Working effect?
pal2tech sorry worming effect (sharpening). Phone must’ve auto corrected it
@@iShaymus Gotcha. Ok, yeah, that makes sense. Agree. In the meantime, check out my colleague @reggieballesteros video here: ua-cam.com/video/N_6alo4iZWA/v-deo.html
pal2tech I have seen Reggies video. I was curious if you did things differently or had any experience with capture one.
@@iShaymus Still learning C1. I mostly still use LR. C1 does a better job with RAF files from what I see thus far.
2:03 is my favourite part of the video...I want the silver edition so bad!
I shoot both but have never pulled a raw to edit :/. I keep telling myself that maybe one day I might want them so into the archive they go.
One day you will... you'll get an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime shot and be so glad you have the RAW for that one.
Now I want some froot loops!
Of course on any Fuji X that you shoot only raw on, the camera will also give you a preview of that. How much computing is going on flipping through all those files...probably a lot more than the jpegs that you didn't shoot.
I hate going through my photo library when I have raw+jpeg, it just gets confusing to me, especially if I'm taking three photos for HDR and I just have a sea of double photos.
Yeah, you absolutely have to have software that combines them into one inside the program. I use LR and Photo Mechanic so only ever deal with one 'set'.
Before I moved over to Fujifilm about 4 years ago I only shot RAW. But since using Fujifilm I shoot RAW and JPEG but never use the RAWs. Much prefer the JPEGs and get it as spot on in camera. The Fujifilm JPEGs are fantastic and can be edited better than any JPEG I have seen before. The editing you are showing is all good but if someone can't get white balance and exposure right in camera with a Fujifilm they need to learn how to use the camera.
Most definitely!
Totally agree. I have tried to recreate some of the issues in this and other JPEG versus RAW videos and to be honest, I ended up preferring the Fuji JPEG most of the time. I also found that I could make a similar range of adjustments in both without noting significant artefacts in the JPEG, so unless the user is really woefully under/over exposing it seems to me that most issues can be fixed just fine with JPEGs in post.
