A professional photographer working for a top newspaper would like control over the quality and editing process of digital photos. Which file format should be used on the digital camera to ensure the photographer has this flexibility?

RAW files preserve the camera’s unprocessed image data, giving the photographer more control over image quality and later editing. JPEG files are compressed and processed in-camera, which limits that flexibility. The best choice is RAW.
