And at what paranoia level would you rather loose data to lossy compression than use the original without and just spend a dollar more on storage?

- Dylan16807 5y agoLet's assume I'm willing to spend the dollar more on storage for both options. I can either store one copy of a RAW, or I can store an unholy ball of parity that's exactly the same size. The unholy ball of parity can lose up to 90% of the data and still be completely recovered, giving you a very high quality image, but if you lose more than 90% you get nothing. A RAW image degrades more and more as you lose data, and if you lose 90% it's going to be useless anyway. I'll definitely pick the compression+parity option.
