Hi Andrew.
I am far less knowledgeable about this than you, quite obviously, and
there's a lot about the use of RAW that I still don't understand. But
wouldn't this way of dealing with RAW images forgo what seems to me the most
attractive feature of the RAW format, namely the ability to make dramatic
and non-destructive changes to tonality, color temperature, highlight and
shadow detail, etc., all of which would be out of reach once the file is
saved in a non-native format?
Also, provided that one is using a well-calibrated and -profiled display,
shouldn't the sole concern at the initial stage be to create from the RAW
data an image that looks right on screen, doesn't clip gamut and tonalities,
and has been assigned a fittingly wide-gamut color profile?
Thank you, and regards.
