Should I shoot in RAW or JPEG for jewelry?

Update Time:2026/9/2

Should I shoot in RAW or JPEG for jewelry?

Shoot RAW when your camera supports it, and JPEG when it does not. RAW preserves the bright highlights on reflective gold so you can recover them in editing; JPEG is smaller and perfectly fine for phones and quick social posts.

Why RAW matters for metal

Gold plating pushes camera sensors into bright, easily-clipped highlights. A RAW file keeps far more tonal data, so you can pull back a blown-out reflection, tweak white balance precisely, and lift shadow detail without banding. For a catalog of hundreds of SKUs, that editing headroom saves reshoots.

The comparison above shows a typical RAW+JPEG preview workflow used in jewelry post-production.

When JPEG is enough

Most phones only output JPEG - and that is fine for social and small listings if you use the largest quality setting and expose carefully. JPEGs are lighter to store and faster to upload. The risk is less room to fix mistakes later, so nail focus and exposure in-camera.

Practical recommendation

  • Mirrorless/DSLR: capture RAW + JPEG so you keep an editable master and a ready file.
  • Smartphone: use the highest JPEG quality; consider a pro camera app for manual control.
  • Edit RAW with gentle clarity and a slight warmth to keep gold inviting.
  • Export web JPEG at 80-90 quality to balance sharpness and load speed.

A: Yes, at maximum quality; just expose and focus carefully in-camera.

Q: What export settings should I use?
