So I'll try an make this short and to the point. Pretty new to the hobby(trying to get better that is, not just take a picture)... Until this 7DII Ive always shot in .jpeg. I have now been getting use to M mode and a lot of reading and shooting and have been writing the files in raw - .CR2 - and .jpeg. Has been more cumbersome in keeping up with the files and have mostly only edited the .jpeg ones but would like to learn how to import the .CR2's .....
What is the best way to learn this?
The adobe lessons dont touch much on the file system - sidecar files, where they will reside, do they have to move with the photos, best to write them into the pic file or keep separate. I have Adobe raw and I look at the raw pics with that but now that im focusing more on raw im trying to figure out the bulk import which leads to Bridge which I do not have but seem to need? Another question there. Do I import and convert to .DNG. Yes, no? Why / why not?
Really trying to figure out this sidecar, DNG, Bridge stuff. Any pointers greatly appreciated! Id like to just keep up w/ raw and im guessing dng and ditch jpeg.
