Why JPEG is Superior to RAW

Whoever tells you that RAW is better and also sells presets … be very very cautious. They cannot be trusted. Why? Because they have ‘conflict of interest‘.

JPEG is superior to RAW for many reasons:

  1. Simpler and faster workflow.
  2. Often the colors of JPEG look superior to even the best-massaged RAW images.
  3. You shoot more, think less.
