Dang nabbit

I just shot some good shots tonight and realized that one of the images fit one of the challenges.. done 30 minutes of editing only excited I had something decent, however after uploading only to find out that it was Minimal editing and only Jpg images were allowed and not raw. oooppps

I am glad I caught it before allowing it to go through the start..

Just a reminder, it is minimal hahaha!

Set camera to RAW + JPG and not a problem. :-)

You did give "+100 love" in a recent thread about Minimal challenges. LOL

Hhaha yes I did, I never check dpc before shooting things. I usually shoot for myself then see if challenges fit later lol

All of a sudden I'm confused.
I shot in jpg.
I want to resize, sharpen, and save.
If I do this, it saves "over" the original file. But I've done nothing to it. So do I re-name it by adding "resized" to the file name and submit that? Or what?

Copy the file first, then work on the copy (resize, etc...). Or, do a save as and give it a new file name.

I did do that exactly.

I just realized that I rotated my original file in its folder.

Now I'm thinking I have to download the files off my card again so the original file doesn't show as modified in the unlikely event that I need it for validation. I like RAW so much better!

My PP program automatically opens the file as a copy. If yours doesn't, then yes, you'll need to manually copy the file in order to preserve the original.

Me, too. Getting a JPG "right" in the camera is of no interest to me. It's not anything I would ever have to do on a shoot.

It seems to me that almost every photography article I've ever read recommends "getting it right in camera" (or as close as possible) every time.

And every teacher who's ever taught, I think :-) Getting it "right" in camera just seems to be a worthwhile goal in and of itself; even in the normal workflow, this approach yieds the most flexibility for further exploration within the image.

Yeah, yeah......we get that, but I think more what Elaine means, and I'm all over that is that it's much nicer to have the avaiability of RAW processing so that you can recover some slight isues. I know because of having my own semi-auto default mode it's sure nice to be able to snap off a quick/hurried shot and not have to lose it by getting that oh-so-perfect dial-in. RAW is very often an image saver.

GASP! You're not seriously suggesting that people pollute their flash memory with ugly JPEG data ... :-)

I shoot in RAW & jpeg all the time 'cause I never know when I'm going to need to just do a speed dump on an unfamiliar PC.

I too shoot RAW & jpeg all the time for the same reason.

That's all fine and well, but it doesn't do anything to lessen the value to getting it right as often as you can. Even with RAW, "properly exposed" is better than not. Besides, minimal editing is about more than just exposure/image quality; it forces you to think about compositional details, for one thing. It's just a good exercise to engage in now and then. It leads to more thoughtful photography and photographers.
