RAW is time consuming but worth it, and not that tough to learn. Just get out and start trying different stuff... only way to figure it out!

raw can be no different than using jpeg if you buy a image program that can deal with it nativly. I use photo shop and it upens and edits raw the same way as it does a jpeg then you just save it as a jpeg. now I imagine if I did all manual corections it might be a little different but I find the auto corect is more than good enough for 99.9% of pictures.

Thanks Steve, I've heard Photoshop is good for RAW, but I don't have Photoshop.

I would choose adobe lightroom over the full version of photoshop. Lightroom has most of the "developing" capability that photoshop has (it's missing advanced photo-editing stuff) and has an incredibly powerful organisational feature.

Lightroom is also SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the full version of photoshop... you can try it free for a month if you download it through adobe's website.

Photoshop Elements also does RAW and can be found for under $100. Also has a free trial on the website.
