RAW vs JPEG

PART 1:
What are three advantages of a RAW file:  Admissible in court as evidence because you get all the information, It let's you use your camera to it's full, Lower in contrast
What is one disadvantage of a RAW file:  Requires a special software to view the images.
What are three advantages of a JPEG file:  Take 2 or 3 times more photos, You don't have to process it in software, Sharper images
What is one disadvantage of a JPEG file: Lower in dynamic range

PART 2:
JPEG- a smaller bite, better quality, quick photo option
RAW- a more dynamic, useful, retains more information, little more difficult options for photos

PART 3:
1. It captures all the data without compressing it.
2. You can edit the pixels like your camera would do automatically; i.e. white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors and saturation.
3. Not every camera has the option to shoot in RAW, takes up A LOT more space, you can convert RAW to JPEG but not the other way around.
 4. For more flexibility and more control over your image outcome.
PART 4:
1. Cloudy days or landscape photo shoots, portraits, if you want highlights/details in your photos
2. Quick shots for sports, macro pictures, anything with low light
