Thank you everyone for all of the information. It has been extremely helpful. One quick question though, I shot a couple pictures in raw and they ended up like this when I tried to open them in photoshop. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thank you for your feedback! I am a student at Stockton University in New Jersey. The course is Introduction into Photographic Medium. It was originally a film course but due to the college going all online, they switched it over to digital. This is why editing photographs is not as central in this course. My teacher is Prof. Tarsitano. Here is the assignment: Journal Assignment #2: Photo.net Black & White Film Processing or Digital darkroom forums (including the lens, camera, and film) or digital darkroom forum Post a query to the photo.net black & white photography film processing forum. You can initiate a thread on an issue encountered or on a topic of interest. Use replies as a benchmark to continue your research and as a forum to engage in a dialogue about the topic with others. Report your takeaway back to the class in the form of a five-minute presentation and one-page paper (submitted via Turnitin) on your findings. Learning objective: To present a problem/solution/result to a technical challenge you experienced in class or one that you chose to explore. A successful outcome requires that you demonstrate an understanding of your chosen topic via your paper or presentation.

Thanks for the response! This post is actually for a project for the course, so we do have plenty of information in the readings, but are expected to post on here to get answers from experienced photographers.

I just began my photography journey with a class for college and I was wondering if it is worth it for me to shoot in RAW and what that actually means to me. All I basically know is to shoot in RAW for more editing freedom. Also, as a beginner, I am not edited my pictures much at this time. My thoughts are I might want to edit them in the future as I learn the ropes a little more. Are there any downsides to shooting in RAW opposed to JPEG? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds(:
