Raw and Jpeg

What are three advantages of a RAW file:
1. higher in dynamic range (ability to display highlights and shadows)
2. the complete (lossless) data from the camera’s sensor
3. typically a proprietary format (with the exception of Adobe’s DNG format that isn’t widely used yet).
What is one disadvantage of a RAW file: 
1.  not as sharp.
What are three advantages of a JPEG file:
1. sharper.
2. higher in contrast.
3. exactly 8-bits per color (12-bits per location).
What is one disadvantage of a JPEG file:
1. lower in dynamic range.
 
 1. Under the first heading "Capturing the Images," how much of the data does a RAW file retain after it is captured by the camera? it captures all the data and retains all the information without compressing it, preserving all the information in all the pixels within the image

2. Under the second heading "Processing the Files," what are some of the things that a RAW file enables a photographer to edit after the image is taken? white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colours and saturation.

3. Under the third heading "Practicalities," what are some of the factors that photographers must consider when deciding to shoot in RAW? that RAW files are significantly larger than JPEG files, so the space on your memory card won’t have the capacity for as many shots.

4. Under the fourth heading "Which one is for you?" why would an aspiring professional photographer need to know how to work with RAW files? Flexibility and processing options.
