It wasn't a question. It was a statement.
I was very pleased to know that I can open my Jpg. file in Photoshop
CS3 in Raw. Now I can manipulate that image using the many Raw
adjustments.

Ah. I was confused.
In fact I still am confused.
What's the benefit of converting a Jpeg back to Raw mode?
Surely a Jpeg contains a lot less image data than a Raw file, and that data
can't simply be recovered by converting the format?
I suspect I'm missing the point somewhat.

There are 8 tabs in Raw that allow other changes to the image
including Lens Correction that are simply not available except through
Raw. If you open a Raw image in Raw and get to know your way around
the nuances it makes life a lot easier to open a Jpg. in Raw and uses
those same manipulations.
Your choice.
There's nothing to stop you from opening your Jpg. normally and use
the normal Photoshop menus.

I do the same thing. It's nice to have the 'RAW' tools in working with
JPEG images.

Best,

Conrad.

CS 3 does have that capacity.

However, the main advantages of file adjustment/manipulation in a RAW file
is that the data(image) is non destructive, that you can adjust exposure
lattitude, and can make adjustments at 16 bite and not 8 for potential
greater color fidelity and transition. Once you convert to jpg there is data
loss.

I'm only using CS2 at the moment and can't afford to upgrade to CS3 for a
while, so unfortunately I can't try it for myself, but I do think it sounds
good.
At first I was confused, but when you explained that it opens up a whole new
set of tools that weren't otherwise available, then it all makes sense.

Hi Frank,

I also like the 'temperture' adjustment for JPEG files with the RAW
tools.


Best,

Conrad

But does it really let you do anything extra that can't be acchieved in Jpeg
RGB or LAB mode?

Is there a way without RAW mode to open a batch of jpg files and then
save them with new names without typing in the repeated names? For
example, when I open a batch of RAW files, I will make any corrections
if needed, and I will save them with a new name. I photograph animals,
so I save them with their name and a number. I can set the program to
tell it what folder I want to save it in, what name, and a number
serious. I only have to type the name once.

So, far with jpgs, I have not found a silar way to do this. There is
some type of batch function, but I do not want to automatically save
all of the files. I want to choose which ones I will save. If I
rename a batch, I ould then have to delete the ones I don't want to
keep, and that would leave gaps in the numbers. I do not want that.
Also, I do not want to rename the orginal file. I want to save a new
copy of the file and save the original.

I would love to have the same dialog window to work with when saving
jpgs as I do when saving RAW files.
