Yeah that makes sense. I made like 3 presets for sharpness and color for adjustments I found myself using a lot. But I do copy my workflow for a set of pictures like you said to save time and to keep continuity.
For me, it would be helpful if you set up the photo for the viewer. Your settings and how you shot it and what you're going for when editing which you did go into as far as liking contrast and what not.
Maybe you could edit viewer submitted photos in the future too or something like that.
I also subbed and liked to video as well.

Phenomenal shots guys, I've def been in a lurker in this thread for a bit. I have a question on video editing. I know this is the photography thread but if anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated!

It's about the editing software Sony Vegas.

You like alot of contract in your pics. One suggestion for this pic would have been maybe like a posterboard to reflect some light onto the grill. You have a dope car make it stand out!

^ more flexibility when editing photos. settings are more 'forgiving' than jpgs. you're able to do alot more with the photos when its raw.
its pretty amazing actually.

Thanks,man!
Any input is greatly appreciated. I'm still in the learning process
Keeping all the stuff in mind. I actually just begun shooting in RAW like last week (this pic was from a few weeks ago). I was always shooting in JPEG.
Anyone know why shooting in RAW is better?
ever since i shot raw, i never went back to JPEG.. so much more quality, and you can easily fix those photos in editing.. i shot events and parties before on JPEG and i saw the difference when i switched to RAW.. editing the exposure level on JPEG messes up the photo so bad but with RAW, you could save a bad photo. this is all from my experience..

i'm in the same boat, i've recently begun to shoot in manual mode to learn to get more control over the camera & the pictures that come out of it. taking pics in raw format isn't necessarily better than jpeg, its definitely more flexible for editing (like retrieving details from blown out highlights & the dark shadows, changing white balance and such) but the ultimately you want to be able to take pics that don't need to be edited crazy, plus raw files are larger, can take longer to write to your memory card, and may decrease the number/speed of consecutive pic you can take.
it really depends on what you are going for, there may be times where you may not want to deal with editing raw files, just something to think about

^^^^^I agree. I get raw is good for editing but I like to just set shots up before hand rather than always relying on editing. I sort of don't see the difference in doing one or the other. I mean a camera has those features for a reason. I am not naive though and I am sure Raw is better but for me, I just don't need to shoot it.

Raw gives you better quality because of the flexibility when editing.Think of Raw vs Jpeg as nikeid vs nike bespoke. Yea your nikeid lebrons are nice but imagine creating amazing brons from scratch vs sending them to a customizer to get them worked on and you and they clearly looked like customs instead of CUSTOMS. would you rather a statue made of wood or one made of marble? haha might sound over the top but it is what it is. The camera does its own processing on the photos which doesn't reflect the true colors of the image, if i remember correctly, the raw files actually store the information of how the camera processes the image when it makes a jpeg to show on your screen. it's more work but if you want to get in the ballpark of what the camera processes that may be a better option in the long run

Working on a little series on this bridge...
Went out yesterday to have a better idea for when I go out again.

it really depends how much & what type of editing you want to do; i think the the analogy of nikeid vs. nike bespoke more or less works except i'd maybe even say its more like footlocker vs. nike bespoke in terms of the detail you get into. raw files contain much more data to manipulate, you have to have a raw file editor, and you will likely convert into a jpeg anyway...in the same way if you go to get some bespokes there are going to be a good deal more options available, you will have to come up out those pockets much more for those options, you have to make an appointment, & there is only one location; alternatively you could just go any footlocker and get a really nice pair of steps for waaaayyy less effort, money, & time.
this is where the analogy falls apart really, because there is a real difference between a bespoke shoe & an off the shelf joint you'd get from ftl (granted their obviously both shoes with the same basic utility) but with jpg vs. raw, the potential exists, if you know what you are doing, to get GREAT pictures straight out of the camera from jpegs (which again, you'd eventually be converting the raw file to anyway). now because i still often overexpose/underexpose pictures or overexpose/underexpose for the wrong things i just set my camera to record both the raw file & the jpeg as insurance (i do just like editing pics tho) to salvage those if possible, i recommend this because it does show you how powerful raw files are but i think the goal is to get to a point where you know your camera well enough to get quality images regardless of jpeg or raw.
all this to say yes raw files are more robust for editing, but it doesn't necessarily mean better pictures, and you don't 'lose' anything by taking jpegs because you could very well like the way you camera process jpegs, and indeed there may be modes exclusive to jpegs that would be difficult or require alot of effort to duplicate in post processing...
cant wait til spring:

I can't wait until riding season either. Hopefully I can do a lot more shooting then.
