Just how well do JPEG files from the Leica M9 stack up when compared to the Leica RAW DNG files using Photoshop in 2026. The JPEG color right out of camera is quite beautiful but its no free lunch as the dynamic range is not as great as the RAW files and the ability to do big edits is limited as the JPEGS are only 8 bit compared to the 14 bit RAW files.
In this video I outline some best practices if you do decide to work in JPEG and some many side by side examples.
