Farewell to the DSLR camera

Sorry you are correct there. My bad. The NEF embeds the lens corrections and they are carried out in LR or whatever using the embedded profile. If you use JPEG then it applies the corrections in body.

I'll now make everyone puke here by saying that I mostly shoot in JPEG fine because I don't want my family to have to sift through 4TB of raws when I drop dead ;)

I won't judge you for shooting jpeg - I am accumulating terabytes of raw files that I will never get around to converting because I am more interested in shooting than post-processing.  Maybe I need to turn on RAW+JPEG mode  :-//

I was going down that route as well. I worked out that I was only really doing light edits on 90% of the photos. The last 10% I was trying to undo shitty shooting where raw came in as beneficial. Figured if I hit myself with the clue stick enough I won’t need to shoot raw  :-DD

This is a hobby for me. If it was commercial I’d see it as a operating cost.

My workflow did involve Lightroom but I now shoot JPEG, import into Apple Photos on my iPad directly and edit on that or the mac. Also the phone feeds into that as well and it’s not bad on the edit front (80% as good as lightroom).

When your images are going to be published by a museum like the Huntington Gardens Museum mentioned earlier (image of 2 page spread shown again for convenience, can't show actual image as it's owned by Gardens now, so phone image of book pages), they demand no alternations to camera RAW files. They don't want any PS either and even JPEG wasn't good enough because of limited DR range (faint banding in the sky background), so we supplied RAW and Lossless TIFF to them. The colors must be spot on and the contrast as one would see if present, very demanding without any post processing, and the old Nikon 24-70 F2.8 and D800 were good enough at the time.

Best,

In my digital cameras that can shoot RAW, there is always an accompanying JPEG file in RAW mode.
