That was the reason for me starting to process my images myself rather than letting the camera do it.
I knew that JPEG images had been 'fettled' by the camera, and RAW images need to be dealt with by the appropriate software, but hadn't really thought of this as manipulation...more as a conversion exercise, but when you look at it it very similar.
Three of my cameras will take RAW images, but I have never bothered with using this format, considering it to be a bit of a fag.
