I've just got a digital SLR and wondered if anyone could advise on the best format to store the pics on my memory card. I know RAW takes up a lot more space but have read that each time you open a jpeg you lose some information as the file re-compresses itself. Also how do you get the printer to match the colours shown on the monitor? I've tried saving the pics with or without an ICC colour profile but neither seems to make any difference.
