I started shooting in raw recently. Is there actually any benefit to shooting in raw or is it just a meme? so far it seems to just take up more space on my camera.

It's for people who want to manipulate images beyond what the camera captures. It's also good for fixing your fuck ups, to a certain degree. Both require you to do post processing, and learning how it works.

It's not a meme. It's used in most digital editing processes.

JPEG is the 10 year old stupid ass image format that everyone can use, but it's not really adequate before you are dealing with the final output (and I honestly hope I can be rid if JPEG itself in like 5-10 years, faster is probably illusory).

Uh, you generally transfer this frequently (maybe after every shoot to a computer + backup.

Well over ten years old in general use, sorry for the mistake.

Because it's not a photo collaboration site that wants to share 50MB image files?

Because web browsers can't actually decode and display RAW images.

Never mind RAW isn't *ONE* standardized format, every camera vendor has its own format(s), really - and then of course these also had versions.

Good. If you are OP, maybe still try to yank sliders on a handful of RAW+JPEG shot pairs (both RAW *and* JPEG) shot in different lighting conditions in OpticsPro, Camera One, Lightroom, Darktable or whatever you use to edit.

I think you'll fairly quickly see why the RAW is better.
