mmmm ok. well i was quite happy because the PS offers an option 'save as RAW', which as i see right now is completely unuseful, because many informations are lost in the conversion. i don't know why the hell they make such softwares which suggest they can do something but in fact they cannot!!!! it warns that "some (read MANY) data are lost with the conversion". great job!
all my pics are taken in JPG but i don't care much about the originals, i post-work them all so hard that they turn into another thing and after finished the work i only care about the PS files, which i take as the real originals. to go back to an original is a so remote thing for my way of working that that has NEVER happened in all my production.
but i don't make the slightest idea of which are the ways of recording of my camera, i just adjusted the modes "big and best" once and never changed them again or tryied to search for other options. and never will make either, because it was robbed last february... poor my sweety has gone forever........
cheers!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure but I'd bet that PSD's are a "lossless" format but you cannot convert TO Raw from another format. Raw is the pure data from your CCD. Either your camera records in Raw or it does not. What do you shoot with Ricardo? Your pictures are amazing!

wow, i didn't know about that technicalities! many thanks for the lesson!!!! now i am very concerned about what can be happening to my pics! do you know if the PSD format suffers the same way each view???? do you think it would be advisable to save all my PSD files as RAW?

Ricardo his feathers weren't only burned but completely incinerated. If this image had not been shot in RAW it would have been completely unusable.
RAW format, in laymans terms is the raw data from the cameras sensor. To my knowledge it has 2 main advantages:
1) Control. You have more than one stop of exposure control as well as sharpness and individual color level and noise reduction capabilities.
2) Archival. This format is lossless, sort of like a tiff image and unlike a jpeg image...Apparently every time you open and close a jpeg image the data that comprises the image is compacted and expanded so the data of the image that you know as "IMG 3749.jpg" actually changes slighty with every view and save, not only with PS manipulation, and over time the original data can change so much as to degrade the image. You can not make changes to the data of a RAW image, all you can do is save it as another format (jpeg, tiff, psd, etc) with the changes on that file but always preserving the integrity of the original 'numbers' of the RAW file as shot.

Shooting in RAW really does pay off.
Great colors and focus.
Well done!

nice shot Sal. liked the patterns the grasses create and the silhouette of the bird contrasts effectively against them. colors lovely too! did you burned his feathers or it is natural that grey? by the way, what's the special difference of RAW pics from others?
