The File Format That Promises Everything and Delivers Nothing on Its Own I shot my first newspaper assignment on a Canon 10D and filed JPEGs straight from the camera.

When I moved into commercial work and started hearing photographers talk about RAW like it was the Holy Grail, I understood the appeal but also saw what nobody was saying out loud: a RAW file is a liability until you process it.
