The advantages of RAW shooting for bad weather

[acorreia]

The photos on our left are those who have been treated for pop-up and to be nice ones.
But, as I wanted to translate the bad whether, the photos on the right are much better.
It was not raining, but it was a grey and overcast.
I started with the RAW files which allowed me to do so.
I sincerely think it would not be so as easy as if I had only JPGs.
I would like you to tell me what you think IYP.
Thank you.

Hello Accoreia,

RAW has many advantages, but I don't think that they play much for this particular application.

If you set the right white balance in camera when shooting and avoid having blown highlights, I don't see why jpg would not enable you to produce the darker images just as easily as raw.

Applying a simple curve is basically all it takes to do what you did, and it is going in the easy direction.

Regards,
Bernard

Honestly, shooting in the raw in bad weather doesn´t sound too tempting....
