How do you change a photo from JPEG to RAW?

It is not possible to convert a JPEG file into a RAW format file. This is because a RAW file is a lossless recording of all the data received by the camera from the sensor and a JPEG file is a lossey compressed file containing only a fraction of this information. For this reason, the JPEG file would not contain enough data in order to recreate the amount required to generate a RAW file. RAW files can only be created directly by a camera as the image is recorded.

What method of output would be best for color photograph?

JPEG - JPEG images look better than RAW images if the two are compared on camera. This is because the camera's image processor processes a JPEG file so that it looks colourful and crisp without making a lot of image adjustments. A RAW file isn't processed, (hence the name RAW), just like a film negative, which is why a RAW file is often referred to as a digital negative. :)


How many pictures can a 8 GB store on a 14 MP camera?

This is dependent on what file format used as well as the amount of compression used. The two main formats that digital cameras use to take photographs are RAW and JPEG though not all cameras have the option to shoot in RAW. RAW takes up more space than JPEG as it is less compressed and contains more data. If shooting in JPEG the size of the images depends still on the amount of compression used. Many cameras that offer RAW also offer the option to shoot simultaneously in RAW and JPEG. This option takes up even more space.
