Reuters Issues a Worldwide Ban on RAW Photos
Found on PetaPixel on Thursday, 19 November 2015
Reuters has implemented a new worldwide policy for freelance photographers that bans photos that were processed from RAW files. Photographers must now only send photos that were originally saved to their cameras as JPEGs.
RAW photos do allow for a greater degree of post-processing flexibility, so based on the new policy, it appears that Reuters found that photos processed from RAWs are more likely to distort the truth.
I wasn't aware that JPEGs less likely "distort the truth". Guess all those photoshopped images floating around online are by far closer to the reality than people originally assumed.
