Need RAW image converter to work on it properly. Should've come with the camera.

When I do this it converts them to Tiff. That may be the best I can do until I can get photoshop CS. I read that there was a plugin for CS so you can work on the raw image before you convert it to Tiff. If you offer a class I will take one after christmas. I appreciate all the time you spend answering my questions.

There should be a preview in there with the software that came with the camera. List for development or twain 32 or something. There's a program to open the dcim folder and get a thumbnail screen of all the photos.

save them to a file, then start photoshop. I think the plug in is for doing the same thing that the canon utilities does. Reading RAW files is program specific. My converter has a "list for development conditions" that's for doing exposure changes and other stuff to the RAW file before doing something to each individual file in photoshop as a tiff. It's an easier way to do similar things in one step. Doing things to tiff files isn't a loss in file info if that's what you're worried about.

No, I just heard that you could manipulate the image better in photoshop if it was raw and then save it in tiff. Before having them printed I have to save them as a jpeg but I know that I shouldn't keep opening and closing the jpeg files.

Opening and closing dosen't do anything. It's changing and resaving jpegs. Changing RAW is limited to slight brightness, white balance, slight saturation changes. Levels and curves and the tools in photoshop are only for after converting to tiffs.
