I Shot in JPEG for 3 Years. Here's what I learned (Fujifilm X100VI, XT5, Ricoh GR III)

After a decade of meticulously shooting in RAW and manually editing every photo, I made a radical shift to a JPEG-only workflow using Fujifilm & Ricoh film simulation recipes. The photos shown were shot with the Fujifilm X100V, Fuji X70, X-T5, Fujifilm X-S20, Ricoh GR III, and Ricoh GR IIIx (don't worry, I have the X100VI on the way). This transition required a lot of experimentation and testing, but with 3 years of shooting JPEG under my belt, I've learned a few key lessons.

Switching to a jpeg workflow with only mobile editing saved my passion for photographing my personal life. I was so sick of editing RAW files from family events that I had stopped shooting them altogether. Through this, I found that shooting raw was completely overrated in modern cameras and have started shooting raw + jpeg professionally as well - my last three weddings, I never touched a raw file.

Nice. Same! I learned a lot getting it right in-camera, and it also improved my eye for colour when painting. 🎨 I'm not a fan of recipes because I like a more natural or neutral image with as little stylization for documentary as possible. I find a lot of fun in chasing the authenticity of reality more than going for a look. I think people don't realise how versatile and flexible jpegs are now compared to 10 years ago.

I've found that editing jpegs are fine as long as you stick with mostly exposure compensation. The film simulations are so good that the only adjustments needed are for improper exposure, highlights and shadows. Spending hours edit RAWS suck and what a collosal waste of time.

Loved this! I shot JPEG only on my Fujis because of you! Reggie's Porta on XTRANS2 is magical! Used that for about 2 years! Sadly lost my fuji gear in an incident, and I bought and old Nikon D90 - great camera! Now I don't like my Nikons DSLR jpegs as much as I like the Fujis, so I'm also shooting JPEG + RAW, and I usually prefer processing the RAW most of the time. But I have done a version of what you described - I've experiment to find the best settings for me on JPEGs straight out of camera, and I always check the JPEGs to see if I find them good enough for me to use that instead, and quite a few times the JPEG is totally fine to use.

Nice info and to the point Reggie. But have you considered this workflow… I’ve just started to shoot HEIC files with the newer Fujis and you get a small file with all the camera’s processing added [custom recipes, sharpening, colour, noise etc] but with much more pp leeway than conventional jpeg and you can still save a RAW for insurance if you want. The advantages are that you get a 10-bit file with the custom recipes baked in and with much more leeway for post processing than 8-bit jpeg’s. Ignore the negatives like “ it’s not a well used file format” because in a non-destructive workflow I always Export my edited file in jpeg and the HEIF stays on my storage. You can also edit HEIC’s on your iPhone if you want a mobile solution, again export a copy to jpeg for sharing.

Preach! I've been shooting RAW+JPG on Fujis since the X-T1, tens (hundreds?) of thousands of photos later, and I'd say I've needed the RAW maybe a dozen times, when I'd cooked the settings or when I wanted to go nuts with complex masks for a one-off large format print. I'm glad I had the RAW as a backup in those cases, and have my archive should I ever want to go revisit any shots, but 99.99% of the time JPG with custom film sim's is a better lifestyle honestly.

Thank you for this. I've never really gotten into the RAW workflow. Mainly due to lack of skills and the use of free software, but there's also a deeper dimension. From the age of 13 to 21 I shot almost entirely on slide film, which is very unforgiving in terms of exposure. You've got to get it right in the moment. Capturing what you see and envision in the moment is really important to me, and I'm only interested in making slight enhancements in post-processing.

However I shoot 60mp images on my sigma fpl and I find the raw files to be HUGE and the Jpeg images seem to have enough data for me to do tons of post processing if I choose to, but I try to keep editing to a minimum. Does the higher megapixel jpg image allow for more editing then if it was 16 or 24 mb?

Once in a blue moon I'll revert back to the RAW to tweak a really good and desired pic.

Interesting, but I’m 66 and don’t think I’m going to change now. Plus when I shoot, I tend to not think too much about the exposure, as I’m focused on getting the image. Unless I have more time of course. Curious if you calibrate your screen on your MacBook Pro under a 5000 Kelvin light. This is what I’ve done for years and it works out pretty good. I would love to hear how you catalog and back up your images to find them. I recently had a complete disaster with my back up process, and when I upgraded all my equipment, they would no longer talk to each other. I’ve learned the raid drives aren’t always updated as manufacturers dump the older firmware versions.

Do you have a specific recipe that you would recommend for weddings? Really starting to think about using your workflow for this wedding season to save an insane amount of time post processing. Thanks!

No I don’t have one in mind tbh

Great advice. In essence you are doing what we needed to do for decades with film. Chose the film stock for the shoot, take care on lighting and exposure, check it again, the shoot. We typically carried two SLR bodies in those days, one for slide (Velvia or Provia) and one for negative as a back up or for portraits (Reala ans Superia I think were the names). For the best images if we wanted to print we would typically use well exposed slides film and high quality paper that could print from slide (Cibachrome I think). The other variant was MF and maybe three backs, including black and white. Boy was it expensive. I think I took MF and SLRs to India once and spent £1k on development and large prints. 30 yrs on the Cibachrome prints look like new. I still use RAW as insurance like you recommend but modern cameras are superb for live working - especially histograms.

Exactly. I realized JPEGs could be a viable workflow after I started shooting film again and working with the scans.

My love hate relationship with my x100f comes down to the image mismatch between the viewfinder and image. I’ll try your top tip of calibrating the the camera to a screen image🤗
@Reggiebphoto 3 ай бұрын
The trick is they have to be the same exact image. Take a photo - take the sd card out and put it on the computer and download that photo. Put that sd card back in your camera without formatting the card and play it back in the viewfinder, then calibrate again the screen

How about HEIF files, I know the file size is smaller due to better compression, but it’s supposed to have better colour and dynamic range too?
@jan-jans143 3 ай бұрын
reg, how about on weddings, do you still give them jpeg or do you individually edit the raw and give them that?

I don’t shoot jpeg for weddings.

I shot RAW for 9 years until my old computer got too slow, so I experimented with jpegs to save space. Now even with a brand new laptop, I stuck with jpegs because Fuji jpeg is so good, plus with mirrorless cameras you can see what you get, without fear of the accidental "overexposure" that people warn you to shoot in raw. Anyways, I think choosing to shoot in jpeg depends on your cameras. Fuji jpegs are good, but jpegs in Nikon or Canon or Sony might not be as good. You just have to experiment.

Woah. Subscribed! I sold my xv100 for the Ricoh and love the jpg recipe life! For my videos I’m looking at Sony due to AF and returned the xt5. Any idea about Sony recipes for jpg?😊

What's the best settings can you suggest to achieve crisp film like photos like yours on an entry level fuji camera like the XA20/Bayer sensor?

I really liked your recipe and saved it on my X-S10! But I find my photos much warmer and flatter than yours, what would be the cause?
@Reggiebphoto 3 ай бұрын
The cause will likely be your use of light. I’m very intentional about the light I choose for my subjects

I shoot with a modified Acros simulation that completely transformed the way I use my camera. I went to look up the settings and I realized it was one of your recipes.

I have always been tempted by the jpeg only thing, but it never stuck with me. I have severe fomo on image quality since my end goal is always print. I couldn’t care less about posting to socials or internet. How do the jpegs sooc (or minutely tweaked) hold up to 12x18 or 16x24 print?
