Club Meeting - 12th July 2011

At this month's meeting, Tony Murphy addressed the issue of RAW v JPEG. The presentation focused on the characteristics of various image file formats, including TIFF and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Tony also went through the motions of editing a RAW file and compared it to a JPEG equivalent that was processed in-camera.
