Accidentally RAW photographed?

I have taken pictures with the camera all day with my girlfriend. I have been doing this for a bit longer but have never dealt with JPEG and RAW… I have actually always taken pictures in JPEG.

Today I photographed accidentally in RAW so it must have been accidentally come to the setting…

The pictures looked really good on the camera (we really tried hard.) Only now I have the problem that when I put them on my phone or laptop I have so blurry horrible pictures. I do not have much experience with editing yet…

Can I somehow "save" the pictures for free or are the jz quasi "lost"?

I would be very happy about help!

P.S.: I heard that good photographers shoot with RAW so it can't be so bad that I accidentally used it… But I'm a bit worried about my beautiful pictures.

Yes sometimes you do not see on the small screen that they are out of focus. That's why you always have to guess. Best face or details.

that it is in RAW has no influence on the sharpness they can be a bit colorless and flat, but they should be sharp. Do not know how blurry those are but some image editing tools have such a slider to focus on things. Whether that but have free I do not know

Thank you for your answer!

Here on the laptop, the pictures are displayed in the size of a camera display (or smaller) … When I ranzoome them on the normal image size Aufm laptop, they are really blurred! If they are so small, they are spicy! And yes they are colorless too

Nothing has to be "saved" in a RAW, RAW is the much better format that professionals use!

You break only a suitable program to develop the RAW file to a picture. The RAW is, so to speak, the digital counterpart to the analog negative. That is, it is not a finished picture but must first be developed. You can make different settings and get in the end a better picture than if you had photographed in JPG. Above all, you have a lot more us better options in editing, because in the RAW file is much more image information than in a JPG

Download a program that can handle RAW. So you can "save" the files.

You may find that you can save a lot more on RAW, because under- and overexposed photos can be corrected very easily, unlike JPG, without noticeably losing quality. Furthermore you can change colors, sharpness and noise as you like.

Popular tools for editing RAW would be e.g. RAW Therapee and Darktable. The camera manufacturers also have programs on offer (Canon, for example, "Canon Photo Professional"). You can then save the pictures as a JPG.
