[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 3129, member: 654"] I don't know what kind of computer setup you have. If you have a PC then I would recommend Lightroom III. If you use Apple then I would recommend Aperture3 over Lightroom. Both programs can be purchased for around $200. Using RAW is not that difficult. Both RAW and Jpeg are computer data files with very similar handling characteristics. RAW files are much larger than Jpeg and take more storage space. Taking pictures, downloading, naming files, storing them, moving them around folders and projects there is no difference. The big difference is with RAW you will need a program with a RAW converter as found in LightRoom or Photoshop to use with a PC. If you are using an Apple computer, then the Apple OS has the RAW converter built in. These photo management programs will read the type of file you have on the card whether it's Jpeg or RAW and do the appropriate download applying the RAW conversion where needed and send the pictures to the folder or project you designated. From there you can organize files and folders or open photos for editing. [/QUOTE]
