RAW vs. JPEG

PART  1:
Advantages of RAW - One is that it is much easier to edit, two is the files come uncompressed, third is higher dynamic range.
Disadvantages of RAW - It isn't as sharp
Advantages of JPEG - One it is sharper, second it is higher contrast, third is small in file size.
Disadvantage of JPEG - Lower in dynamic range

PART 2:
JPEG - In my own word JPEG is a file that comes in image form. It is also lighter than RAW images.
RAW - In my own words RAW is a file that can easily be edited into any file because it doesn't come as any specific file.

PART 3:
1. The RAW files retain all the data. Much more than a JPEG image captures because JPEG captures the picture in the camera and a RAW file just gets the data and will do all the capturing and compressing on the computer.
2. The RAW files let you edit and manipulate the pixel as opposed to letting the camera do it automatically.
3. Consider that not all cameras have RAW setting, the Raw image will be much larger than a JPEG and other types of images and that  you can convert a RAW file to a JPEG file.
4. Because if they don't know what a RAW file is then they might not be able to convert it to any other type of file, and that wouldn't be good at all.

PART 4:
RAW - Whenever you know you might be editing it later, whenever you don't know what type of file you want it to be it would be good to be able to edit it to a different file when you know, also whenever you want to be able to put it in  lightroom.
JPEG - Whenever you want the picture to take up as least space as you can, whenever you know you will want the image to be a JPEG.
