JPEG: if you have no intention to do post production editing RAW: if you have intention to do post production editing

JPEG = [Compressed] Less Quality + Less File Size Raw = [No Compression] Ultra Quality + Huge File Size

I didn't know Eden Hazard is Photographer!

When you brightened up that cliff and all the details appeared out of nowhere it blew my mind! I've ordered my first DSLR and lens today, I'll definitely be shooting raw! Thanks Nemanja!

I knew the difference but I didn't know that it was soooo big. Thanks for opening my eyes

Wow, the difference is incredible! I just bought my first DSLR and I'm so glad I stumbled across this video, not played around with settings much so far but after watching this I've just switched to RAW! Thank you.

Best explanation I've seen on RAW vs JPEG. Great work Nemanja!

And I like the background: Life is like a camera: Focus, Capture, Develop. Awesome!

I seriously love the enthusiasm that you bring to every single video. I love the way you explain things and I love the little bits of humor you throw in your videos! You are seriously the best Creator I have ever come across. I can not express my gratitude for you continuously posting amazing videos.

Comparing the files with food was the best explanation I had about it. So clear that it is impossible to forget.

I was not intended to learn the differences between the RAW & JPEG, but I just saw your video and now I'm very happy that I learned it in an easy way. Very nice.

Incredible value for content ! Your entire side by side comparison is very impressive, and very well made. We automatically realise how HUGE of an impact RAW files make, and I’m happy to know my photography skills will be massively impacted. Thanks again, you earned a loyal subscriber ! 😉

It's quarantined and I see this as very good time to learn photography. Thank you for the detailed information about JPEG and RAW

The best description of raw vs jpeg by far! Thanks brother! You are the best

This is the ONLY video I needed to watch! so simple and clear explanation! Im will hopefully get a camera that supports raw sooooon!!!

Hi! Thanks for the video - I must say I've been aware of all that stuff already, but it's just a pleasure to listen to you. Great job!

I was a bit skeptical at first but I was INSTANTLY sold after he slid the shadow slider on the underexposed raw file.

I've never understood why anyone would spend large amounts of money on a good camera and lenses, then shoot JPEG!

Naleteo na ovaj klip slucajno, gledam kako je full brat objasnio, vrhunski. Ajde da udjem na kanal da vidim sta ima jos od snimaka, koliko ga ljudi prati, tek vidim da je u pitanju nas covek. Odusevljenje jos vece, svaka cast! :D

you just gained one more subscriber. what a comparison of jpeg vs raw. the coastal cliff image was indeed an eyeopener. wonderful video.

I’ve been shooting jpeg for over 15 months now and this video just blew my mind! I’ll surely try out raw

Your FOOD comparison was perfect. Can't remember the time when i shot JPEG only. Great video.

Finally someone who shows difference between JPEG and raw on particular examples. I am now in RAW team ;)

Тако је брате, сви ти разлози које си навео на крају видеа су занемарљиви у односу на оно што добијаш од RAW фајлова. Иако се разумијем у све то, увијек је добро погледати нечију другу рецензију, одличан клип!

I already know something about the difference but this video clear all my doubts about RAW vs JPEG. THANKS for the video!😍

RAW format is really amazing and its disadvantages are nothing in compared to that of the JPEG format. RAW is far more better than JPEG. Thanks for such an amazing explanation !!!!

Omg wow, the restaurant example is literally the best way to put it forward!! Thank you so much haha!

This is the best explanation and live comparison that I have ever saw in my life. You're awesome

Nemanja, excellent explanation of the differences between RAW files vs JPEG files. You have sold me on RAW files! Thank you!

Thank you for this great explanation and demonstration. You have convinced me now to shoot in Raw format all the time - no question about it!!

Probably the best video on this topic on KZfaq!

by far the best description of raw vs jpeg. well done!

Finally I can comprehend the differences. Thanks!

Thank you for this video. It clearly explains the benefits of RAW over JPG. Well done!

This is one of the video that really is useful! Nice explanation and examples. Nice done bro!

Man, thanks a lot. This is just what I was looking for! Amazing quality content.

Damn good description of raw VS jpg! Man i had no clue until now, just how much information raw has Vs jpg. Thanks for the vid

I spent a whole month shooting on JPEG on my d7500 with a variety of lenses. I learned I lost a LOT of detail in images, especially when you zoom in and pixel peep. The lost in quality is very noticeable. I turn on RAW and images begin to look sharper, more detail, and lighting looks a lot better (contrast and colors).

You explained it in a fantastic way... I specially liked the part how you explained the disadvantages of RAW files..

Best video I've seen explaining the two files. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm new to photography and my photos were coming out too dark and i couldn't fix them. Come to find i was shooting in jpeg. I honestly thought that taking a picture with fewer or no edits was better than editing a photo that looks unrealistic. You taught me something new. Thank you

I like your analogy to food, making your clip more interesting and easier “digestive” :)

Great video! I’m an amateur photographer and just decided to start shooting jn RAW. This video made me EXCITED to shoot in RAW! Thank you for showing side by side examples! There’s a clear advantage!

I just learned what I was looking for after many video of this title. Thank you so much for such informative tuts.

WOW i never knew that RAW would be this much powerful ! Thank you!

Oh, thank you Nemanja! As a former physicist and computer graphics professional before seriously taking up photography in retirement, the differences were clear to me. But, how to explain them to nonscientists? Hopefully the "camera brand X has better color science than brand Y" crowd won't discover your heresy. However, since they may attack you through moral arguments, I do want to suggest that the difference is important even when you haven't made some exposure or initial white balance mistake. There are valid artistic and even professional reasons to do color toning in post-production, even if you "got it exactly right in camera". One technical point. The big irreversible step is when you truncate from 12 to 15 bits to 8 bits. The entire game here, as you pointed out, is to delay that truncation as much as possible, to just before you send out the final product. Since your eye separates red, green, and blue the total number of colors is less important than the number of shades of each primary color. So, JPEG gives you 2^8 or 256 shades of, say, red. 14-bit raw gives you 16,000 shades of red. If you do anything like change the white balance or especially use tone curves, vibrance, or clarity adjustments then you start to stretch and compress the distances between adjacent shades. Suddenly, something that was too small to see becomes visible as an artifact, as your examples showed. My moment of truth was about two years after I bought a Canon Rebel XSi. I knew that it had an option for raw output, but I couldn't be bothered. I took a trip to Alaska, which because of life's little surprises, turned out to be a trip of a lifetime. After I came back, I figured out how to do raw and largely converted. After two years of learning, I realized that my Alaska pictures could be vastly improved by post processing. I started using my new skills on them, and very quickly ran into the problems you showed. So, my Alaska pictures, taken in weather conditions that professional photographers would have killed to experience, remain forever frozen in amateurland. I see nothing wrong with recording both JPEG and raw, but keep the original data as well for your unique images, in case you later grow as a photographer or artist.

There's an old saying that goes something like: "When the student is ready, a teacher appears." I know I'm late to this party, but I started to research raw format and came across this great video. It's what the Internet promised to do: make the knowledge of others available to anyone. Well-done. Thanks.

Really appreciate you doing this, thanks! The realtime comparisons explain a lot too 🙂

OMG just whisper RAW into my ears with the lights off

Perfect video to learn about RAW and JPEG files. 👏👏👏

Thanks so much for the sharing! I will take my first raw photo this afternoon after watching your video.

Perfect comparison to food! I explained it like that to my friend and he understood it :D

Even the photographer start talking about food when I started a diet. Am Imagining things!!! Love the explanation thanks a lot.

Odlično. Ne razumem se u fotografiju, ali si me Nemanja sa ovim videom stvarno zainteresovao za tu oblast.

This video helped me alot to understand the difference between raw and jpeg as a new beginner in photography

File size be damned! This has convinced me I need to shoot in Raw.

hi nemanja. thank you for a beautiful video. i started photography in october 2018. and since then i was using jpeg fine , as i had no software to convert raw to jpeg or even opne them. but i was always wanted to shoot in raw and now after your video i think i have made my mind and will start shooting raw when i have space and time. its very clear how good i caan treat my photos later on with raw. so thank you for inspiring me to take up raw now which is a good thing. god bless.

I've watched a few videos on this because I had no idea what RAW was, and this was the most in depth and informative one, thank you :) I've always been using jpeg but I will try raw now

Excellent explanation!! I’ve been reading about all the manual modes and how to adjust for a few years. But only recently I finally got a good camera. So now that I have hands on, I can learn things much quicker from watching great videos like this and experimenting. Keep up the great video’s. This is by far the best one to explain RAW and JPEG!

Totally agree with you bud🙌🏻

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.. EXAMPLES!

Thanks for such a clear explanation of the RAW and JPG file. I will be using the RAW mode more often then not now! Great video!

Thank you very much, Nemanja! Now only RAW+JPEG !! Very usefull information. Have to tell you that i am from Russia, i've seen lots of russian vids about photography and photoshop but only your tutorials make me clearly understand what to do. Thank you very much again!

First I learned something from this video. Essentials are however: 1. One will need editing software to make RAW file even usable in the browser or for the printing. JPEG is a ready image. 2. RAWs are in the magnitude of 5 times bigger than JPEG and not for immediate use on Instagram or social sites. 3. If you have an understanding of OR good control over exposure and prefer natural light photography you can rely upon JPEG, for RAW you need to be fully aware of the editing process. And in cases where post-processing is needed RAW is essential. 4. RAW + jpeg is the way. With RAW you can RECOVER details: It is a safety mechanism, so essential to know. 5. An underexposed picture is always worse than an overexposed one (except in low light portrait), as you will introduce noise by increasing the brightness of an under-exposed image. So use exposure compensation mechanism while shooting itself.

How could you not like this video. Thumbs up bro

Thank you very much for this explanation! I did not think about photographing with raw, till I saw your video. Thanks👍

Congrats from Portugal. Very well explained the Raw and Jpeg files.

0 dislikes... Cool video man!!!

Thank you for this video. I understand the whole thing.

Very clear explanation and visual aide as well. The visual aide helps much in understanding the difference clearly. Great presentation, I love it. Thank you very much. I will now prefer RAW for my shots.

Very good! You explained so well that I subscribed and I never usually subscribe to these types of videos. You are a person I can learn from. Thank You!

I like your comparison of RAWs and JPEGs. I personally use JPEGs about 90% of the time. For me, RAWs only make sence for really hard post production changes. Photography is in my opinion more the moment you take a picture. Right exposure, correct white balance. Most of my photos do not need to get edited that hard. Anyways, I think your extreme examples shew the difference very well. And if I need to take a photo in situations where a high dynamic range is nessecary, I highly prefer shooting RAW instead of an in camera HDR. All in all your video made me think about RAWs again. Thanks for the interesting video! Bye :)

"I will go and make a tea"... case closed. ROFL! Nice one, great video! Thank you.

Great explanation and as a beginner to photography I’ve decided to always shoot in RAW 💪🏽. Thanks for sharing your knowledge brother 🙏🏽

Thanks for explaining in simple terms the differences and advantages of each format. Useful as well as educational.

*Is it Photoshop?* I'm just using "Photos" on an older Mac right now and the eyedropper doesn't work quite the same way. In the meantime this video has totally taught me something I really needed to know about editing raw photos! TY

I wondered for so long as to why my photos looked like shit post-production. Now I know. I feel this slight nuance (paired with learning photo-editing programs) is the step from amateur to beyond. Grateful I found a video under 20 minutes that explained everything in detail and Nemanja, you're a personable and knowledgeable guy. I appreciate that, so thank you for opening my eyes to over 4,000 colors and keep up the awesome work!

best video on that optic ... there are more detailed ones out there explaining the technical side of this but this video helps more to understand it completely, very fast and only relevant infos... for example, while studying i hat to learn how compression works ... but they never showed how this would affect the work ... so yeah great work man!

Brilliant tutorial!! Feel more comfortable thanks to your video about shooting in RAW!! THANK YOU

"The picture is made not taken." - A. Adams

Thats an amazing explaining ! Thanks alot ! Now i know whats the difference between RAW and JPEG files !!

I came on to this video because I'm trying to decide a purchase between DJI drones - specifically the Mini SE vs Mini 2. The SE only takes photos in JPEG, while the Mini 2 takes raw. This comparison was great! Super quick and you clearly know what you're doing which made it easy to follow. Only wish was there was a color editing comparison. Great video nonetheless, thanks for this.

Moram priznati da si mi otvorio vrata u svet prave fotografije, dugo sam to trazio. Svaka cast na videu. Pozdrav iz Banata i hvala !!!

Thanks you Very Much.... I never shooted Raw.... But from now on.... I will but I think I should shoot Raws...♥️

this dude competely took over that photo. I'm surprised that he was able to make the raw file usable in SECONDS!

wow this blows my mind! thanks Nemanja, now I will ALWAYS shoot in RAW!

I've known the difference already but this was very useful, very in-depth. Great Job

Row row row your boat, gently down the stream. Great comparison, thank you. ;)

I always shoot in dual mode. Both JPEG and RAW. My clients can have a copy of the JPEGs but any post-processing is done on the RAW files.

that raw food example is such a good example, thank you!

Thank you so so much! This was exactly what I was looking for :)

dobar, pratio sam i strance na ovu temu, ali nisam našao ovako poređenje gde se odmah vidi razlika.

Just depends on how much post processing you do whether to shoot raw or jpeg.

Great way to talk about how different they are. Makes a lot of sense!

This is a great description of the two formats! I would say another difference between the two, related to file size, is the ability to take continuous high speed photos. Sometimes Large RAW is unable to keep up with continuous high speed shots when shooting athletes and there will be multiple gaps between shots because the camera is unable to process the information fast enough whereas continuous high speed shots with jpeg there’s never been a delay for me.

raw vdeo vs compressed video even makes bigger difference than still images.

now i understand ; raw is like ms word and jpeg is like a pdf copy

I love your explanation at the end and how you state that some people say shooting in raw takes so much time to touch up and you Love to do it and isn't that what it's all about. Great post and thanks for the advice because I've always shot in jpeg but recently I purchased a SanDisk extreme pro 128gb 95mb/s uhs-I u3 c10 sd card and now have plenty of room to shoot raw.

Great job Nemanja. Nikada jasnije!!🙌🙌

6:40 somehow I expected Hagrid (from Harry Potter's movies) to come insade your studio and say: You are a wizard Nemanja! Becouse what you just made, pure magic!
