Part 2:

A jpeg a a processed, compressed photo file

a RAW file is a file that hasn't been processed or compressed.

Part 3:

1. Under the first heading "Capturing the Images," how much of the data does a RAW file retain after it is captured by the camera?

all of the data

2. Under the second heading "Processing the Files," what are some of the things that a RAW file enables a photographer to edit after the image is taken?

white balance, contrast, highlights etc

3. Under the third heading "Practicalities," what are some of the factors that photographers must consider when deciding to shoot in RAW?

memory card space, as they're big files, not everyone knows how to use a raw file or process a raw file

4. Under the fourth heading "Which one is for you?" why would an aspiring professional photographer need to know how to work with RAW files?

So he can edit his photos, if you can edit your photos they won't look as good (depending on the photo of course, I'm generalizing)

Part 4:

1. Make a list of three occasions it would be better to shoot in RAW.

weddings, when you have a lot of memory card space, when you are doing professional work and know that you're going to edit the photos, senior portraits, Magazines

2. Make a list of three occasions it would be better to shoot in JPEG.

if you're just snapping shots, when you have low memory card space, if you're not going to process it through light room. when you are giving the shots to a client, relative, etc., football games, daily magazine shots.
