Default Shooting in RAW

I came across this PDF today by Bruce Fraser at Adobe. It explains quite well why you should use RAW over JPEG, if you have the camera, software, and time. The first part is a bit tekky, but the second part 'How JPEGs differ from RAW' is concise and informative.

This link will download the PDF (may take a few seconds)

Very Interesting Rob, really explains why JPEGS have their limits. I tend to use raw now if its any sort of image i want to take seriously, but Jpegs if its just a work snap of a forklift for example when the detail isnt required.
