Digital BW, The Print

Tom -

On the contrary - Ken's theories are not half baked at
all - they just aren't elitist. 

Shooting RAW is like expecting to shoot a film that is
Kodachrome 25 and Velvia 100 and everything in between
so that you can decide which film you really wanted
sometime it the future - in your copious free time.

Also, RAW files are totally non-standard.  One from a
D-100 is totally different from that of a D-70, even
though both are Nikon.  Do you really think that any
of these RAW files will be able to be opened in 10
years?  Who is going to keep up the future operating
system specific software for a one-camera file
structure?  Talk about your 8 track!

JPEG's, on the other hand, will at least be the vinyl
LP of the future, and they will still be selling
players for it.

 Sorry, but Rockwells theories seem pretty half baked.
 And, very biased, for whatever reasons.

Ken -

So you actually shoot RAW? Check out Ken Rockwell's
article at http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/raw.htm
titled "JPG vs RAW vs TIFF: Get it Right the First
Time
". I never shoot RAW and prefer to make all decisions
at the time of taking the picture. Ken makes a solid
case for doing it this way. I am getting excellent
results with my D-70 shooting jpeg's and having the
camera do a little sharpening and saturation
enhancement - which it does on the full RAW output
before saving it to jpeg so absolutely no artifacts.
