See also the Image Capture bug from several years ago where it appends a ton of empty data to imported photos: https://cdfinder.de/blog/files/image_capture_bug.html (I'm not sure whether this bug has been fixed or not yet, though I think it has been fixed.)

Image Capture did me dirty once. Macbook ran out of space while importing photos but it never stopped and kept on deleting photos from my iPhone. Lost 5K photos of a wedding... submitted a bug and hopefully it has been rectified.

I also use RAW+JPG. Latter part allows quick sharing without long post-processing, esp. for impatient friends.

If I'm going to share the photo to an album or something, I process the RAWs selectively.

JPG so you can also see the default camera processing which might be work well from time to time. RAW in case it doesn't.

You get to keep out of camera jpg files. Some people might like how their camera processes jpg files and might also want the raw file for a scenario when a more complex editing is needed.

I feel like this is a URL that I don't want in my history

Why? It's brilliant.

ZScaler gets pissed off going to frame.work just because of a “malicious TLD”.

I don’t even want to know what ZScaler thinks of “tender love making”.
