Original Problem

Photographers struggle to choose between file formats without understanding technical tradeoffs and storage constraints

Photographers, from hobbyists to professionals, waste time researching and debating JPEG vs RAW formats because they lack clear guidance on when each format is appropriate for their specific use case. Current solutions fail because they either oversimplify the decision or overwhelm users with technical jargon, leaving creators uncertain about storage costs, editing flexibility, and delivery requirements for different projects.
