I buy bulk chemicals, i mix them the way i want to. i can coat a glass plate or piece of paper to use to capture an image. i can choose to buy film that is any combination of chemicals i think will give me the result i am looking for. | |

RAW is as close as i can get to capturing what i see. yes it is dependent on the person who wrote it but it is minimal in what it does to the data and is in therory recording all it sees. It has to be told how to capture the data, It captures all the data. JPG programing makes decisitions as to what data to keep and what to discard, that is unacceptable to me. | |

I read all the answers before I submitted my answer. I know what I think and that's what I stated, I am not responsible for whatever assumptions you made or for your lack of understanding of a clearly stated opinion. | |

Or for that matter, film photography a collaboration between you and the chemists at the film company? | |
