During her post-shoot edit session, Roxy revealed that every single image she captured that morning was in (gasp!) JPEG.\u00a0 Roxy\u2019s pictures were beautiful, for sure, and even the judges agreed that her capture was not only unique, but also showed a dreamy essence of the city. So why was it such a big deal that she didn\u2019t shoot in RAW, and why did Nigel reprimand her during the judging session, waving his finger and exclaiming \u201cBad photographer!\u201d?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/roxy-jpeg.gif\" alt=\"roxy-jpeg\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Every time you take a picture, there are settings applied to your image, some of the settings are set by the photographer and some are programmed by the camera -things like white balance, sharpening and tone curves.\u00a0 As you can imagine, when offered a unique opportunity like shooting from the Empire State Building, you want all these settings to be just right.\u00a0 But what happens when you shoot in JPEG is that it compresses the image so much that in order to make it a smaller file, it permanently writes these settings into your image and you can\u2019t really change them- at least not without affecting the quality of the compressed image. So, unless you did a perfect job setting your camera to capture the subtle golds, yellows and pinks of a rapidly changing sunrise, there isn\u2019t much you can do to correct your image. That\u2019s a lot of pressure!\u00a0 That\u2019s why to make it easier on yourself and allow more creative control over your final image, you should always shoot in RAW!<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Why I Shoot Raw: Two Minute Tips with David Bergman\" style=\"width:1280px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_Dkw8URRGYXY\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Dkw8URRGYXY\/maxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dkw8URRGYXY\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M31S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2016-07-04T15:00:00Z\" \/><\/div><meta itemprop=\"accessibilityFeature\" content=\"captions\" \/><div id=\"lyte_Dkw8URRGYXY\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Dkw8URRGYXY\/maxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Why I Shoot Raw: Two Minute Tips with David Bergman<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Dkw8URRGYXY\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Dkw8URRGYXY\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Why I Shoot Raw: Two Minute Tips with David Bergman\" width=\"1280\" height=\"700\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"http:\/\/www.adorama.com A beginner&#039;s guide to your camera&#039;s RAW file format.

If you have questions, please share them below.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:1280px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>In this video by Top Photographer judge David Bergman, he explains how shooting in RAW gives the photographer a lot more control, allowing him\/her to make changes in settings without any loss in quality. The RAW format actually captures all of the data from your camera sensor, uncompressed before any of the other settings are applied. With the ability to work on the photo after the fact, Roxy would have been able to manipulate things like white balance, shadows, highlights, etc. as if she had shot it that way in-camera. This gives you a lot of room for error if you make any common photography mistakes like shooting a little too light or too dark. But because she shot in JPEG, she pretty much had to be happy with what she captured as is, and hope that judges were, too!<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l0MYGvngjmOUILXX2\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Luckily for Roxy (and her fans), it turns out that despite shooting in JPEG, Roxy managed to capture a winning sunrise photo.\u00a0 With a little photography experience, a good eye (and luck) Roxy\u2019s photo managed to win the judge\u2019s approval based on its originality and unique perspective, and she won the challenge. (This was terrible news for Jamiya who lost the challenge and got sent home, even though his beautiful capture was a favorite of guest judge Jeremy Jauncey &#8211; <em>and\u00a0<\/em>was captured in RAW.)<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/3o7TKGfN8cG406aYkE\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>So now that we\u2019ve hopefully all learned from Roxy\u2019s mistake we will always remember to set our camera to capture RAW, right? \u00a0Just remember, though, shooting in RAW is not really a reason to not have your camera settings right in the first place! Any time you can save in editing is valuable time for both you and a client.\u00a0 But you can at least think of shooting in RAW like shooting with insurance and an added level of confidence about not missing those once-in-a-lifetime moments.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we are left with two contestants on Top Photographer who will battle it out during the final photography challenge tomorrow night. Tune in and find out if it will be Scott or Roxy who comes out on top! (You can be sure that Roxy won&#8217;t forget to check her camera settings this time!)<\/p>\n<p>Are you #teamRoxy or #teamScott?
