Do you think the demand for RAW files is increasing due to AI?
Our take
I’m very curious about how photography will be approached with the rise of AI.
Taking photos is an art form. Editing those photos is an important part of that process (or can be). Editing helps create a distinctive style and signature. This requires both skill and time.
This is also why many photographers are reluctant to hand over their RAW files. It feels like giving away the ingredients before they’ve been shaped into the final recipe.
But in a time where you can drop photos into an AI tool and have entire batches edited within minutes in a specific style (or even multiple styles), this may come under pressure.
My prediction is that this will increase the demand for RAW files. But I’m very curious to hear your perspective on this—and how you deal with it (or would like to).
(Sorry, my native language isn’t English, so I used a translation tool.)

- Do you think more "natural" editing will be in demand due to the influx of AI?Recently saw some professional photos someone had posted and I know they didn't use AI to process the faces, but the faces gave the same kind of vibes as AI. I also see similarities when the photo has the saturation dialed up or things just look too smooth. I had the thought that if I was paying for someone to take photos of my family, I would not be happy with them looking like that, even though I know that it's a stylistic thing and the photos would be considered good in most groups. Has anyone experienced clients asking for less processing or seen people taking more of their own photos and relying less on professional photography services due to AI? submitted by /u/x_Caffeine_Kitten_x [link] [comments]
- Non-editing photographyHi, Are there any other people out there who are either too lazy or feel it’s too much hassle to edit or touch up your pictures or does this just come to you over time? I am on and off photography and I played around with editing for a bit but severely dislike it, so right now my process is pretty much only using the jpegs (fine) and saving the raws for … god knows what. I feel like I am happier spending the time actually taking pictures and improving this skill set instead of trying to salvage whatever mistreatment I put my sensor through this time. How do you feel about editing in general and if you do the same do you have any tips? I am using a Nikon D610 for “serious” stuff like concerts, astro and portraits and my beloved D200 for basically anything and everything I don’t know what makes me love the pictures so much, maybe sentiment or maybe the CCD magic is real 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for sharing your thoughts! submitted by /u/pipipopokaki [link] [comments]
