Some digital cameras allow you to shoot in RAW, which is totally unprocessed image data. This provides the best image quality, as the detail is lossless, and the data isn’t distorted by compression or conversion.However, editing is necessary to make these files readable on other devices. Some photographers call the editing stage ‘post-processing’.Most digital cameras will also let you shoot in JPEG, so there’s no need to shoot in RAW if you don’t want to.
