Guys,
After finally getting my skills down after my first year of diving Ive decided that now I want to start taking some memories back with me to show friends and family. As such I just ponied up and bought my first camera and housing. I purchased a new s90 and have paired it with an ikelite housing and should be picking up an 8 or 16 gb card tonight. (Strobe to come later but want to master the camera first) Now I have a few questions. Ive noticed the debate between raw and Jpeg so my question is what does raw entail? I understand its a setting that appears to be a bit superior than jpeg when it comes to editing. My first question is, is raw a good option for my set up and if so do I need special software to view or edit the images. Next, how difficult is editing? Sorry for all the questions but I love to learn when I take on a new hobby and underwater photography has so much available info it takes a while to decipher what a beginner needs to know vs. what it way out of my league..
