Host: What quality settings should I set my camera to? Jenny Berman: You should always set into the highest possible quality that you can. I do not shooting raw most of my students do not shooting raw because I have trained them how to use their camera properly. If you shooting raw, I d like to says, it s for the lazy photographer. You should never have to shooting raw if you know what you are doing.

Raw is for people who want to fix later but at the moment all labs needed converted to JPEG anyway, so it s just in time management thing. Shouldn t JPEG your highest quality possible because it is much easier to size down later than it is to ever go, you can t go backup, you can t go the other way. If you shoot something in a low resolution, you cannot make it larger later. So, fine JPEG large is great.
