RAW vs JPEG

WTF is GIMP?

Open source photo-editing program.

https://www.gimp.org/

You may wear a mask while using, but I can't say whether it will improve your editing.

I would shoot in raw if I could get a camera or tablet to do all the editing for me while I am watching coronation Street

Hahaha
well said!!

Looks interesting - can you download load a working version for Nikon Raw format. A CD came with my Nikon D3300 - maybe I should look at it.

( I used to work in software until I retired . The mention of C# , .Net and plugins reminds me of my 9 to 5)

I am interested in photography (which is why I want to upgrade my camera body but they are so expensive ) but I just can't get excited about editing , although having said that I do crop my photos which is probably the biggest break through that digital photography brings to the lay person apart from instant results.

I don't think current lady is quite ready for the gimp mask!

I'm glad that this thread has degenerated down to my level of expertise

A few weeks back I finished trying to improve on a RAW out of focus image and saved it as a jpeg file. Uploaded it to Flickr.

I then looked at it on two other PC monitors and a tablet.
So that gave me jpeg on processing PC monitor; two other Flickr monitors and a tiny tablet screen. Each one looked different.

I will not live long enough to make a living as a photographer.

Ps. Does WTF mean what I think it does?

If you are thinking what I'm thinking, then yes WTF does mean what you think

Thanks for the confirmation. It covers my reaction to the changes in forum style.
Lots of new stuff to learn - I think that it is called experience.
Anyone know what happened to the little smilie thingies?

Aah, ha! Hidden under full editor. Absolute magic don't you think?
