Raw histogram and why does it matter

Naturally. When those are displayed they generally are not claimed to be "raw" as opposed to processed images, as was the case in the post to which I replied which compared one image as "processed" to another image labeled as "raw".

RawDigger shows that lossy compressed is, wait for it, lossy.

ah drrrrrrrrrrr..... automatically 🙄

wait for it your quote : Lossy compressed files are not even close to raw. It's either lossy, or raw.

Yeah, but those are indeed ”image” files. A RAW file is fundamentally different and that’s clearly the point (an important one) that some people are trying to make - that, unlike a jpeg, if an image from a raw file looks a particular way in your editor, it is the processing applied by the that editor that is primarily responsible. The RAW file itself really only represents a potential image to be. Seems like a distinction that shouldn’t just be swept under the rug.

TBF, it does depend on the image how apparent the problems are.

Im excited the penny has dropped. but im sorry for all those that it hasnt yet , im going to leave you all in limbo until you can figure it out for yourself 😁😁

Well, I'm happy to see you finally see the potential benefits raw histograms can provide. Your own histograms show that.

Your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to learn how to use the post editor properly and fix your stuff ups.

i could have explained this in 1 sentence 🙄🙄

i used to hate teachers that said it is what it is without an explanation. "define potential"

a lolly pop to the first person that can show how the histogram is related to the image i posted. in 1 sentence, and how they arrived at there conclusion.

i will drop a hint. open many images . mine was easy with opening only 2 . this one and the other one. and i didnt move the EV0 point.

may the best person win 😎

i tried and made it even worst 😁🙄🤨

Now the fun begins students.

what is the best surface to use if your in the bush to set the camera EV off shutter/aperture and iso .

if you want to make it more fun. post the surface and use bobs program to confirm your findings.

But it's the engineers who really know what they are talking about and how things work properly, not the marketing people. Marketing people tend to dumb things down, even to the point where it is not technically correct, for 'mum and dad' photographers.

I'll fix it for you 🙂

First, please define fun and for whom.

Thanks
