Totally agree. I was just thinking it might just be too much and possibly discouraging for someone starting out...especially if you don't know your way around a camera ....let alone a program like Photoshop. It might just be me and probably in my head, but I tend to think jpeg encourages shooting more pics. Something people who are new to photography often don't do enough of. No one likes having to edit in post.
