I have read over and over again what an advantage it is to shoot and process saw pictures, but somehow it seems scary! I wanted to order a rather large print of this picture from Vancouver, so I decided to try processing the RAW file. When we were on our summer vacation I shot on RAW and jpeg so that I would have the archived files to play with, but have the JPEG to use immediately. The disadvantage is obviously that the files are HUGE, but I took along my little net book and unloaded my card daily. Would you believe that in an 11 day vacation I shot 50gb of pictures!! Totally worth it now that I am venturing into processing raw and loving the results. I used the software that came with the camera, but I may try light room soon, and see how that goes. (Free trial first.)

You did good! I shoot in RAW sometimes, but for every day things I stick to jpeg. Now that fall is here in the north east, and I hope to be out and about enjoying the weather and foliage, I'm going back to RAW!
