So you archive RAWs, not just JPEGs? I get that professional photographers do, but I never would. And I think they do it to preserve byte depth or whatever, but FLAC from a single pass CD rip has all the bit depth of the original, even if it has a few bits wrong you'll never notice it.
- zamadatix 4y agoI mean I do keep the RAWs but the use case there is a bit different anyways, even the JPEGs aren't a simple matter of "the compressed version" it's also "the preprocessed version". OTOH it takes no more storage to back a CD up correctly vs incorrectly so why be keen to add a generation of loss? You can lower the quality whenever you like but you can never add it back.
