JPEG. Mostly by mistake. Just before the trip I updated the camera’s firmware. This reset the camera’s settings to default or factory-new mode, so my previously-chosen image-save mode of JPEG + RAW was reset to JPEG only. Like my typing skills, my paying-attention skills are, well … suboptimal.
Since that trip I re-enabled the "save to JPEG + RAW mode, but I don’t know yet how to process the RAW images.
Probably not, since I’m pretty sure that images from this trip were JPEG only. But this is an excellent thought. It makes me wonder - what does the macOS (or the iPadOS) Photos app do with RAW images? And what workflow should I use to handle this? I like your straightforward workflow, keeping image processing under your control.
Thank you for the excellent “JPEG/RAW Image Processing for Dummies” tutorial. Just what was needed to help me rethink my procedures. I should probably bite the bullet and get started with Lightroom.
What I learned about photography was back in the film-SLR days and darkroom-printing days. I have only recently become serious about digital image processing. It’s great fun, but frustrating when unintended consequences (like Photostream) get in the way.
