This is my first all RAW shoot, so it’ll be interesting to see how it goes. I noticed that Picasa displayed the files differently than the Canon Digital Professional, so I’m wondering what is going on there - especially on nighttime shots. Once this process finishes, I’ll post the results.

Besides, I want to give the Mrs. the opportunity to pick/choose the photos she wants so we scrapbook or print out or turn into wall art, and the JPGs make it easier to share with family/friends or on the blog.

I’ll probably become more selective as I see how this works out. I have a 1TB external drive, so space isn’t much of a concern for the moment.

I have my Nikon D60 set to save both to RAW and to “basic” JPG. I use the JPGs for web and sharing, and the RAWs for post-processing. I’m still learning that part.

But RAW format sure does eat up the megabytes. With all the photos and movies I have now, I need to get another 1TB or larger drive.
