Just Jpg Shooters?

SOP in that day and age, but even using lossless formats to work on will not give you back the data discarded in the original JPEG conversion. Eight bit format concerted to sixteen bit format does not result in more data.

Raw gets saved as jpeg before you print or before posting on the web. Nobody prints or posts raw files. Same loss of data.

Really? so when Export a 16 bit TIFF from my software and send it to my outside print provider it gets changed to JPEG? On what planet. When I print directly from my my RAW converter to my local printer, you know, the one connected to my print server, it gets converted to JPEG? Just keep smoking what you have and it ain't very good.

I can export images as PNG "for the web" too, ya know the 16 bit version. When I do export JPEG's, I sure as heck don't go off and edit those at all. I do export JPEG's web use by the non-profits I shoot for, but those are pretty low res and going 16 bit format is overkill.

Another nail in the JPEG compared to RAW conversation.
