Taking photos in Raw is a way of saving a photo
with the minimum amount of data, this type of file can be capture on a digital
camera, motion image scanner or an image scanner, the image is taken with the
camera, the information is taken in through the sensor and saved immediately,
it isn’t white balanced, saturated sharpened, ect., it is called a raw file
because there hasn't been any processing done to the image or film yet and is
not yet in a position to be printed off. Once
the file is open it is then possible to edit and change the images
information to suit what the photographer or filmer wants. This type of file
has many positives and negatives.
Positives
-You have more control over your
image
raw files let you change almost anything when it comes to processing your image, for example you could have taken a image and it appears to exposed you can open the raw editor and change the exposure to whatever you want, another example of being in control is you could have taken an image which hasn’t captured the colours correctly so you can show certain colours more and even change certain colours to what you want.

-You can change a lot of little things individually
You are
able to change things like contrast, highlights, shadows,
clarity, vibrancy and saturation, even though you can change things
like this on a normal image file raw gives you more of
a natural effects, noticeable effects and allows you to
change a lot of things separately.
-Raw images have a better quality than other files such a JPEG
You get a
better quality because the sensor on the camera is able to detect a lot more
date than other forms of file.
Negatives
-It takes a lot of time to correct
and change images
it takes a
lot more time to change and edit a raw file because it is all done individually
and a lot of things have to be changed rather than just a big change with JPEG
for example if some wanted to change the exposure with JPEG they could do it
all at once but with a raw file it is better to scan over and change everything
individually to get the best outcome
-File sizes are a lot bigger
the size of a raw file is a lot bigger than other files which will cost the photographer more money on memory for the computer, storage devices and memory cards in camera, because the files are a lot bigger if you have a pc which isn’t that good it will take a longer time to open and edit the image.
