That would be my interpretation, yes. The result should produce basically the same file as would have been produced by shooting in JPEG (or RAW+JPEG), but of course you've still got a RAW file for use with your favourite image editor.
It's handy if you usually shoot RAW, but need a JPEG file fast (for giving to somebody else, or for a quick-and-dirty test print) and you don't have any image editing software handy. And, of course, it presumably lets you defer decisions on white balance, contrast, saturation, etc. On Fri, Oct 06, 2006 at 09:40:52AM -0700, Shel Belinkoff wrote: > OK, so if I understand you, the pics were made in RAW and converted to JPEG > within the camera, using the camera firm/software, as opposed to being shot > in JPEG or converted to JPEG in editing software like Photoshop.
