Happy Birthday!

Saw your post on Forum Help about the RAW file format. Hope that this will help clear the air! Also posted this reply to the Forum. Think of the RAW file format as being digital imaging's equivalent to film. Like film, a digital image sensor does not capture image data that can immediately be viewed as a picture. Just as film has to be developed to render an visible image, a RAW file must be processes by a computer to yield a final image. When you shoot in JPEG your camera uses it's on board, built in computer to perform this processing step. When you shoot RAW, this process is performed in your computer (Mac or PC). When viewing a RAW image before processing it will tend to look washed out with low contrast. It is then up to you to "develop", or enhance the image by using the software supplied with the camera or an aftermarket convertor like Abobe Camera Raw.
