Sorry, but I'm a big RAW fan. I can do things with RAW images that tiffs & jpegs won't do. I liken RAW to Silly Putty: it lets you stretch your exposure in ways other formats can't handle. I shoot in a lot of mixed-lighting environments, exhibit spaces with dark areas & spotlights, theaters...RAW gives me so much more flexibility than I had when shooting film. I agree film still has some advantages over digital, but I'm betting those go away in the next few years... david David Turk Manager, Preservation Imaging Services Indiana Historical Society Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center 450 W.
