The differences between a RAW and a JPEG file is that the RAW files are uncompressed and unedited image data collected by the sensors of a digital camera or scanner is contained in a RAW file. They’re a type of raster file format as well, but one that preserves lossless quality. RAW files are big files that include the image data as it was captured, not images. The JPEG files are among the world’s most popular and commonly used image formats. Photographers can use JPEG mode to capture their images, while graphic designers, illustrators, and other creatives can use it to edit their work. The RAW files are larger than the JPEG files. Because you’re converting to a lossy format when you convert a RAW file to a JPEG, the quality will suffer. Converting a RAW file to a JPEG implies condensing the details into a significantly lower file size, allowing you to store image data in less space. When shooting for an important event I would shoot in RAW because it gives you better quality and although the pictures take longer to come they look better at the end.
