Are you suggesting that there is some way to retrieve clipped data from an 8 bit JPG image? If so I'd like to know the technique. This comparison was simply posted in order to display that RAW image capture generally provides a technical advantage. If my examples didn't make the fact plain that I don't know what would. Just for kicks I'd like to see someone massage the unedited JPG image to match JPG derived from the post processed RAW image.
