even though it supposedly offers all manner of advantages, this is the first photo i’ve taken in raw mode.

i never really got into the habit of shooting RAW partly because it seemed like something only “real” photographers do, and everyone knows i’m not a real photographer 🙂

but more importantly i’ve also never really been comfortable with the idea of locking my originals on a proprietary format that render them inaccessible with the next software upgrade and i think the odds of everyone adopting an open format open standard are slim to none.

so are you shoooting in RAW mode? and if you are how do you get around the fairly significant downside? trust that it will never become a significant issue? double your “workflow” and storage needs by saving the RAW original into another less risky format?
