A RAW image is one which has been subjected to the absolute minimum of electronic processing in the camera. Think of a RAW file as a digital version of a film negative that can be processed in different ways to obtain different results. If you use JPG images from a digital camera, they will have had things like sharpening and noise reduction applied in the camera. Taking the RAW image enables you to do these things in a suitable software package on your PC/Mac, allowing you far greater control and (in theory at least) allowing you to obtain a finished image of significantly higher quality. If you store the RAW image, at a later date you can process it again in a different way and have the potential to get an even better finished image. >> Please explain to me what the term, 'RAW' means in photo >>lingo.........

It's not an acronym.  SignatureMåns Rullgård mru@inprovide.com > That's all true, but why do people spell it in all capitals? It's not > an acronym. Who cares. This is a Photography Newsgroup.

It's not a letter 'a', it's a different letter than an 'a', this is at least what I did understand from the Swedisch Alphabeth. But it shure does look like an 'a'. But then an 0 looks like an 'O'. ben >> I think a more important question is why your letter a's are wearing >> little hats. WELL? Not hats, circles. An a with a hat looks like this: â > It's not a letter 'a', it's a different letter than an 'a', this is > at least what I did understand from the Swedisch Alphabeth. But it That's correct.

But even Windows no longer requires extensions (or all of the file name, for that matter) in upper case. That was a limitation of MS-DOS, and certain other OS's -- including mainframes, which used a different characterset, and squeezed more characters into a single word by using only the six bits needed to represent digits and upper-case. Some of them even ran some specialized compression on filenames, which was one factor in what limited the length of the names originally. Certainly in unix filesystems, filenames are sometimes upper-case only so they will sort to the beginning of the directory, since unlike Windows they use a case-sensitive sort. Enjoy, DoN.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >That's all true, but why do people spell it in all capitals? It's not >an acronym. That's true, it isn't. I used to work for a company that spelt its name all in capitals. Yet the name of the company was actually the surname of the founder, so only the first letter should have been capitalised. It was apparently done for emphasis. I read a magazine that has its title in capitals, yet that is just a word that describes the content and therefore should not have more than the first letter capitalised. : Please explain to me what the term, 'RAW' means in photo : lingo.........
