okay here is my newbie understanding of it:
RAW saves a lot more of the data in the photo you took. So it while it's less vibrant on initial download there's a lot more adjustment you can do in post processing. So in the end the RAW has so much more potential. but if you don't want to process too much after then jpg is fine.


okay, now I am ready to be corrected
