Interesting, most photographers I know keep the original RAW file from their cameras and work on copies for processing, storing the source as raw material for future projects. Instagram (and the like) forces your hand in the production of a finished product, no looking back.
- Timothee 15y agoI'm no photographer! :) To be fair, I'm using Camera+ which gives me the ability to save the original file too. In general, I just don't because a lot of the pictures are just for punctual use and present little interest to me in their original form.
- nsfmc 15y agoyou can always use photos from your camera roll in instagram, making it a post-process only app. Or you can take photos in instagram and (unfortunately) not have a 'raw' file left.
- yid 15y agoTo the downvoters, I meant that as a good thing.
- mpakes 15y agoFYI — You can enable a setting in Instagram to save originals to your photo library.
- alanfalcon 15y agoThat's why I like Hipstamatic, it requires setting up that ideal filter for a shot ahead of time, and if the photo doesn't turn out then you've lost your shot. Add in the random shifting of the photo and you get some wonderful found photos with a bunch of low quality attempts.
