What type of software programs do you recommend using with your photos??

[jericho667]

clear! but what about the "jpeg + raw" option?

[KreativeVueTV]

@jericho667 I actually discuss this in the first part of this 2 part video series. Have you watched that one already?

[pkilla617]

@kreative so is best to shoot raw all day family vacations Disney land road trips etc so like that u don't loose no quality or detail holla back homey good work

[KreativeVueTV]

@pkilla617 Hey bro, thx for watching. You will NOT loose quality that will be blatantly obvious or that you will be disappointed with. RAW format is used when your intention is to produce quality images for print, professional shoots or for times when you know that you are going to do lots of post (i.e Landscapes, portrait sessions, etc). Summarized: If you don't plan to do a lot of post work, then shoot JPEG. If your camera is 15mp or more, then you really don't need to worry. Hope this helps!

I have a Canon t3i. How do I select RAW or JPEG w/in the camera settings?

[KreativeVueTV]

@sandraguinn81 I'm SOOOOOO SORRY for the delay. I hope you've found your answer! You should be able to access this features by pushing the "Q" button and cycling through the different menu options. You should see one that says "JPEG or RAW". Let me know if you need more assistance. You can Direct Message me if you have to. Thank you!

[sandraguinn81]

I love-Love-LOVE your tutorials! I have a Canon t3i...how do I select if I want to shoot in RAW or JPEG?

You seem to have a problem with your camera's sharpening/jpeg quality, it shouldn't look that crappy! even underexposed. The passage from raw out of the sensor to jpeg makes all the difference.

[KreativeVueTV]

@surferboy36O Thanks for watching and leaving your comment! Good eye, in my haste to take this picture I did not adjust my picture style from my video User Defined setting to more of a standard setting. However true, this point was not relavent and changing it would not have dramatically differed. As i mentioned in the video, one should never produce such an extreme image, this was ONLY to illustrate the post work difference between the two. Not sure I understand your last sentence. Thanks again

[surferboy36O]

@KreativeVueTV What I mean is that the algorythms used to transorm the raw data from the sensor (after demosaicing and some small processing),- like the color space used, tone mapping, gamma, compression- into the jpeg file determines weather you're gonna have an excellent jpeg or a very crappy one. In a very hi quality jpeg very little differences should be seen, most problems will occur at the extremes after processing where the extra bits got chopped.

For my first payed job i shot a family friends wedding.In JPEG and had no problem, i used a note pad in my back pocket. And in every location i made a custom WB on the white paper. So the WB part of the equation was taken out.

And when i got my images from my card to PC, i converted all images to TIFF.

And almost all images looked amazing!

And that stuff about 8bit, 512 stuff. You still have more than enough colour information.

[KreativeVueTV]

@rorrt Thanks for watching and sharing your photographer insight. I'm sorry if you some how felt that I was directing this video to you, as that was not my intention. As I've explained in part 1 of RAW vs JPEG, I was merely demonstrating the difference between the two formats. That "8bit/512 stuff" was not intended to dummy down YOUR PREFERENCE, but to allow people TO JUDGE for themselves when the appropriate time to use either format. You seem to have something that works, but does not mean...

[rorrt]

@KreativeVueTV

Indeed! There is always a trade off no matter what you do in photography.

The primary trade off people make, the size-quality. That size doesn't always refer to camera size, but can refer to memory size.

And as that size quality thing shows, both have pros and cons. In the end, both do the job very well.

I read that in the not too distant future JPEGs straight out the camera are getting so good, that there will be little difference between the 2 straight from the camera.

[KreativeVueTV]

...it'll work for someone else! As a photographer you should be able to distinguish the uses for BOTH formats and truthfully provide an UNBIASED opinion on both formats. I'm not here to convince my audience that one is better than the other. I'm only interested in teaching them both formats and their benefits and allow them to judge for themselves. Thanks again for watching and your feedback, I greatly appreciate it!

[FranklinParkIL]

The difference is negligible. The photo you took is in dark and underexposed. In photography one should work with light not dark. In other words turn on the lights! Of course one will get 'noise' in black when there is nothing there.

I would like to see the difference between RAW and JPEG with a well lit, properly exposed scene.

Best Always - Ben

[KreativeVueTV]

@FranklinParkIL Hello and thank you for watching. It seems as though you may not have watched the entire video, as I make it absolutely clear that you would NEVER shoot in this extreme manner. I whole heartedly agree that you should consider your light before your darks. As explained, I wanted to show the STARK difference between the two by creating an exaggerated scenario that pushed the limits of both formats to demonstrate the ability to bring back what may appear lost. Thank you once again!

[moodytamimi]

Great job ur actually one of the few people that explains Raw Vs Jpeg in a nice way! :)

[KreativeVueTV]

@moodytamimi Thank you very much...glad I can be of service to you! Thanks for your support!

[yogeshavl]

Excellent way of showing…

[bijayranjana]

how much did u pay for this software ???? fren

[KreativeVueTV]

@bijayranjana You can buy it on the Mac App store for $300

[bijayranjana]

does this worth this price ..... and one thing fren if i bought new mac then can i transfer to my new mac ???

[wilbertcs]

@KreativeVueTV At one point it was only $150. I'll be waiting for that sale again.

[KreativeVueTV]

@wilbertcs really? I must have missed that one! My initial reaction to FCPX may have been a little different if I had paid less. Even then FCPX is till a very good price compared to when this software first debuted.

[bijayranjana]

which software are u using in mac

[KreativeVueTV]

@bijayranjana Final Cut Pro X

[bijayranjana]
