Your digital camera contains a special purpose computer that does some processing to your photos right inside the camera itself. If you shoot in JPEG or TIFF format, your camera processes the image before writing the image to the memory card. Three processing tasks typically performed are: Color saturation, ‚ Contrast, and ƒ Sharpening.
When shooting in Camera Raw, no processing takes place. The camera merely stores all of the raw data captured; hence, the name Camera Raw file format.
