Professionals recommend using RAW but I have backed off as it looked too complicated for me, I have Paintshop pro, and that looked complicated as well.
However I have been studying at the university of "You Tube" and decided to stretch myself a little bit. I may run out of the room screaming when I try to do it, but I have been shooting in Aperture priority for a fortnight and understand a little bit about shutter speed and ISO settings.
It's just a hobby when all is said and done and this helps to keep the interest there.

Dave I commend your approach. I wish I were brave enough to learn such things......I was once. Nowadays I really worry when there is a concept I
think I understand and then I fall at the practical fence...it makes me feel a bit thick...and I don't like that feeling. There are enough people in the world who want me to believe I am losing my marbles as it is!
