RAW Now what do I do with them?

National camera and video have classes that will teach you basics such as that. For you question though Photo Shop is the standard. Raw files are of better quality. You can always take detail away, but it can be very hard to add and takes a lot of manipulating of several pictures. Compacting files looses detail. It is a trade off quality or space saving. There are a few programs like photo shop which have diffrent levels of compression. Where you can compress your file and very little detail is lost if you choose. I said very little but still some.

When ever you get something you have to give somewhere.
