[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 329716, member: 13090"] If you're happy with your RAW files as they are I guess that pretty much answers the question for you, but generally speaking RAW files need (I use that word in the broadest sense) post processing. The colors look flat and lack saturation. White balance, typically can be improved upon, contrast is typically dull and lacks "pop" and of course RAW files have not been sharpened to any degree. Those are the basic corrections I think everyone can pretty much agree on. Post processing also allows you to apply lens profiles to correct for distortion and chromatic aberration; things you might not even notice until you see them removed. This is also when you get to exercise the amazing degree of creative control over a shot you don't have when working with a JPG. [COLOR=#ffffff]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
