The results you can get after editing RAW are way way better than jpg, =
but it takes time and effort.
You will need a good package that can handle RAW - Adobe Elements 5 or 6 =
is a good start if you can't afford (or justify) the full Photoshop. You =
can download Picasa2 from picasa.google.com which will allow you =
rudimentary editing but not much - oh, and its free.
Get yourself a good book on how to edit RAW files, or get a photo mag as =
most months one or other of them has articles on how to edit RAW and =
usually a CDRom to go with it. Surprisingly Expensive World is a good =
place to look for photo books - then buy it from Amazon or wherever you =
can find it cheapest.
Finally be prepared to spend (***ulatively) perhaps 10 hours or even =
more to learn how to do it and get the right results. One tip: get your =
monitor set up properly - be that by hand or with one of the 'spider' =
devices that you can buy (at a price!) It's not a good idea to spend =
hours trying to get the picture right on screen only for it to print 20 =
shades light (as is usually the case!!)
