RAW vs. JPEG
1. Explain the main differences between a raw and jpeg file.
A RAW file is an unprocessed image file that contains all of the data captured by the camera’s sensor. This means that RAW files are much larger than JPEG files, but they also contain more information and can be edited more extensively. JPEG files are compressed image files that have been processed by the camera to create a smaller file size. This processing can result in some loss of image quality, but JPEG files are still widely used because they are easier to share and store.
2. Which file is bigger RAW or Jpeg?
RAW files are significantly larger than JPEG files. This is because RAW files contain all of the unprocessed data captured by the camera’s sensor, while JPEG files have been compressed to create a smaller file size. The exact difference in file size will vary depending on the camera and the image settings, but RAW files are typically 2-6 times larger than JPEG files.
3. Can you change a Raw file to a Jpeg, once your photos are the computer? How?
Yes, you can change a RAW file to a JPEG file using image editing software. This process is called converting or exporting the RAW file. When you convert a RAW file to a JPEG file, you are essentially throwing away some of the image data in order to create a smaller file size. This can result in some loss of image quality, but the difference may not be noticeable in all cases.
To convert a RAW file to a JPEG file, you can use a variety of image editing software programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture. Simply open the RAW file in the software program, and then select the “Export” or “Save As” option. In the export options, you can choose to save the file as a JPEG file.
4. If you were shooting an important event would you shoot it RAW or Jpeg? Explain.
I would recommend shooting an important event in RAW format if you want to have the most flexibility in editing your photos later. This is because RAW files contain more information than JPEG files, which means that you can recover more detail from the shadows and highlights of your photos. RAW files also give you more control over the white balance, color saturation, and sharpness of your photos.
However, if you are not planning to edit your photos extensively or if you need to share your photos quickly, then JPEG format may be a better option. JPEG files are smaller and easier to share, and they are still a good choice for many everyday photos.

History of Photography Timeline
The development of color photography in the early 20th century. This allowed photographers to capture the world in a more realistic and vibrant way. The invention of the digital camera in the 1970s. Digital cameras revolutionized photography by making it easier and more affordable to take and share photos. And lastly, the rise of smartphone photography in the early 2000s. Smartphone cameras made it possible for people to take high-quality photos anywhere, anytime. When I was growing up, I loved taking photos with my disposable camera. However, I had to wait until the film was developed to see how my photos turned out. This was often frustrating, especially if I wasted a roll of film on bad photos. With the invention of the digital camera, I was able to take photos and see them immediately. This allowed me to learn from my mistakes and improve my photography skills. Smartphone photography has made it even easier for me to take and share photos. I can now take high-quality photos anywhere, anytime. This has allowed me to document my life in a more complete way. AI-powered photo editing apps have also made my photography better. I can now use these apps to enhance my photos and make them more creative. For example, I can use AI to remove unwanted objects from my photos, adjust the lighting, and change the colors.

PHOTOGRAPHY CAREER TREE
1.) The photography-related career that I am most interested in is commercial photography.
2.) Commercial photographers are creative professionals who create images that are used to sell products and services. They work with clients to develop and execute creative concepts for photoshoots. They also direct and pose models and subjects, set up and operate cameras and lighting equipment, and edit and retouch photos.
3.) Commercial photographers can earn a good living, but salaries vary depending on experience, skill level, and the type of work they do.
4.) What interest me about this field is the ad type images we see every day, are part of commercial photography. This would make me feel everyone seeing my image as an everyday thing.
5.) To be a successful commercial photographer, you need to have strong technical skills as well as communication and interpersonal skills. You should also be creative and have a good eye for detail.
Questions
The main light, also known as the key light, is the primary light source in a studio portrait setup. It is responsible for creating the overall mood and atmosphere of the portrait, as well as shaping the subject’s face and body. The main light can be positioned in a variety of ways, but it is most commonly placed to the side of the subject, slightly above eye level. This creates a classic triangular lighting pattern that is flattering to most subjects.
The fill light is used to fill in the shadows created by the main light. This helps to create a more even and balanced exposure, as well as reducing the overall contrast of the portrait. The fill light is typically positioned on the opposite side of the subject from the main light, and slightly below eye level. This helps to create a soft and natural-looking light that is flattering to the subject’s skin.
Loop lighting: This is a classic lighting pattern that uses the main light and fill light to create a soft and even light around the subject’s face.
Rembrandt lighting: This pattern uses a strong main light and a weak fill light to create a dramatic triangle of light on the subject’s face.
Split lighting: This pattern uses the main light to illuminate one side of the subject’s face, while leaving the other side in shadow. This can create a moody and atmospheric portrait.
Butterfly lighting: This pattern uses the main light to create a butterfly-shaped shadow under the subject’s nose. This is a flattering lighting pattern for most subjects, as it helps to accentuate the eyes and cheekbones.
Clam shell lighting: This pattern uses two main lights, one on either side of the subject, to create a soft and even light around the subject’s face. This is a flattering lighting pattern for subjects with all skin types.
