OK, I know that RAW can be up to a 16 bit image which means an awfully large color palette or great gradations in mono and that the 16 bit detail will be nice, too. And JPG is limited by design to 8 bit which obviously means smaller color palette and less gradation in mono. OK. And RAW edits are done just like JPG edits. So it seems best to shoot RAW for the better quality image. Great. But to print this better quality image it must be converted to 8 bit JPG. The same to display it on the internet. So other than viewing it on our monitors or sending it to others to view on their monitors what is the RAW advantage if it is going to be a JPG anyway??
 
The extra bits let to pull detail out of the shadows and highlights, change tone curves without the image coming out like a contour map.

Or write your own Fortran code to perform image segmentation and object recognition.
 
I process the RAW (DNG in my case) file, then save it to a TIF format (which may be further edited or processed) for the highest detail possible. The only reason I convert files to JPG is the size limitation of posting or sharing files. JPGs are digital prints, while RAW formats are digital negatives.

As to printing, I ALWAYS print from TIF Files - never JPGs.
 
The advantage is, first, editability .. you have many more degrees of freedom in editing with a raw original than with a JPEG original.

Second, it is not true that you *must* output a raw file as a JPEG to be able to print it (or archive it, or incorporate it into other works like books, etc). That depends entirely on the tools you are using. If you use Lightroom or most other professional grade image processing tools, you can print directly from within the tool environment and the tool can handle whatever is the least lossy conversion to whatever the print engine needs without ever needing a JPEG intermediate stage. You can also output to 16bit lossless compressed TIFF for more future editability even including your edits, or the newer HEIF format for shareable compressed images at 10-16 bit depth.

Raw capture simply nets many more options throughout the whole capture to rendered product chain.

Let's just please post cute pictures of kittens, without any technical data. We all need a break.

I thought I felt a disturbance in the Force…

I don't have a kitten. Here's a cute picture of my dog (shot, edited, and uploaded as JPEG):

D7K_6531.JPEG

(Hope this doesn't turn into a cats vs. dogs debate.)

Perhaps I was not precise enough about printing. I mean printing like sending it to a processor to get it printed. Printing at home works if you want a small print. My vanity is so unrestrained that I sometimes want a large print, like 24" x 36". The processors I know of will accept JPG or PNG only. I know no shop handling raw in any raw format.

I am not arguing which is the better format, raw is. But the practical end is what the hell can be done with it? It seems all must be converted to 8 bit JPG. Maybe some shops will soon take 10 bit HEIF. But this is now.

So, other than Brian's post that raw edits allow more to be done in edit I suppose that is it. And that is a big deal, yes, because his other option of FORTRAN programming in the nether reaches of image manipulation is beyond my ability.

If we all agree that the reason that raw images are better is that they can be edited more finely, good. Then we can all get back to RetroGrouch's suggestion of kitten pics, JPG or RAW. ;o) So chime in, is it that raw images can be better edited the reason of their superiority?? Chime in because I have two of the cutest kittens here I want to show you. 😎

Given that HEIF has been the default format for iPhone photos for what, 3–5 years now, I would be surprised if most print shops cannot take that format.

Being able to fix white balance without mucking up colors as it can when WBing a JPEG file.
Being able to take the wider tonal range file and compress it down to 8 bit with a tone curve of our choosing.
If shooting at high ISO being able to use much more sophisticated NR programs. Ditto for sharpening and sometimes demosaicing too.
Blending multiple images works better when done raw, esp. with exposure fusing.
 
12-bit JPEG has been around for a long time. Proprietary.

Best thing about DNG on my M9, M8, and M Monochrom: I do not have to deal with Huffman code and Discrete Cosine Transforms just to read an image into memory.

Threads like these are known as "reinventing the wheel".

(A few less kindly among us would call it "reinventing the toothpick.")

One of about seven topics that get rehashed all the time.To keep us awake and drinking coffee, I guess.

Now and then a new idea pops up in one of these recurgitations.

Many live in hope.

My cats are all for kitten photos. In our house there are currently five felines, so a majority vote. Me, I go with that pooch in #16...

But then we have several excellent photo threads going on at this time here in RFF.

So yes, there is hope.
