Raw workflow testing part2
Summary:
Built in previews in raw file straight from camera are bad ( at the very least not ideal )
Raw codecs are for generating thumbnails and giving a quick preview of the file, but in no way actually read the raw data. It’s just a jpg baked into the raw in most cases, for the purpose of a quick preview. ( This is the method Reality Capture is using to read said raw files )
Lightroom converted DNG’s are essentially the same thing as a full quality jpg if you baked in full quality jpgs. Watch part one for details.
Tiffs are probably not worth the time or space they take up. I might test PNG as they are technically lossless, but not today I’m tired of recording.
