My word 'Play" was used in the sense of being creative and the ability to make major adjustments, far beyond that which can be achieved with a JPEG file. . That is certainly not insignificant. Very often I will take an image, and wuite often, usually after time has elapsed, the image will tell me what to do. Quite often if owuld be difficult to tell what the original image looked like. For my use this is not insignificant.
I'm digging at the idea that JPEG by definition means "getting it right in the camera" as opposed to RAW meaning you can play an image to discover the correct creative adjustments that will produce an image.
I want to see the resulting image first, *before* the shutter is released, and have data recorded that allows me to then produce the image that was already visualized. In camera processing usually just can't get very close because the parameters are estimated rather than set up inspection with full knowledge of precisely the effect, and also just because the granularity of the adjustment is large in the camera and much finer with post processing software.
