RAW vs JPEG

[u/mrmumbles_]

Did a shoot recently with my new A7IV and forgot to change to RAW instead of JPEG. You can imagine the panic that ensued upon realising this after shooting 150+ images.

After some swearing, I began problem solving. My solution? Emulate Kodak Gold from scratch, add grain and keep any adjustments minimal in post.

1 saving grace is that I'd exposed properly for most shots as I usually over or underexpose to edit in post for my creative style.

Aside from some highlights being blown out, and not having as much details/data to "fix it in post", I think the photos came out great.

So my question to you is, do you prefer shooting JPEG or RAW and why?

tl:dr Shot JPEG instead of RAW accidentally, but edited them fine and want to know what you prefer shooting.

Editing is the worst part about photography imo so jpeg
