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 is 'JPEG' in photography?

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Expert's Group. It is a processed image format that uses compression to save space.


Are pictures saved using a digital camera stored as jpeg files?

Yes. The most popular format for storing photos is the jpeg format which means the name of the file generated by the camera is most commonly something ending with the three letter jpg or JPG extension. This is not true for all pictures on all cameras, just most cameras. The basic hand held "point and shoot" camera that can be purchased currently will store photos in jpeg format. Older cameras and more expensive cameras are more likely to have a different format. It is also true that the camera may be capable of storing the image in (or converting it to) several different formats based on the settings selected by the user. The jpeg format saves space but it also removes details from the photo the camera has actually taken. Normally a typical camera employs one or three CCDs (charge coupled devices) to detect the light and record the image. That information acquired by the CCDs is a much larger, and requires typically more than ten times the storage than the jpeg version of the image. The reduction is size occures when the camera converts from the original raw image data to the jpeg format and when the encoding in jpeg takes place, information in the original image is lost. The highest quality cameras, that a professional photographer might use, do not convert to jpeg but use other formats which retain more or all of the original information collected by the light detectors (CCDs). There are many other formats for digital images with advantages and disadvantages when considering the image quality versus image size issues and also the issue of image manipulation. One can literally write a book on the technicalities and uses of these many other formats, so that aspect of the answer is best done by a separate investigation by those interested. Wikipedia has an extensive description of the jpeg format at the link below.

What happened when you change you camera to RAW?

Changing your camera to RAW changes how the camera compresses the image to be stored on the camera's memory card. The RAW setting allows the camera to store the image onto the card without any compression. People who do a high amount of photo editing will use this option because there will be no quality loss compared to a jpeg which has to be uncompressed, edited, and then compressed back to jpeg when photo editing is utilized. It is also important to note that special software is typically required for your computer to be able to open a RAW picture.

What is 'RAW' in photography?

If you mean a RAW file, it is used in photography because it holds more information then a JPEG and it doesn't "correct" it like a JPEG. It saves the photo like you have saved it. That is why you should shoot RAW files, but if you don't have photo shop or adobe reader, you will probably struggle to view the photo, so make sure you can convert them on your computer before you go out shooting.
