I have only recently moved over form 35 mm to dslr and am getting to grips with raw and all the image manipulation. Can someone tell me is RAW a “lossy” format like Jpeg or can you keep saving without loss of quality?

Should I be doing all my adjustments as one hit or can it be done in steps over time?

Thanks, I thought it was - steep learning curve and all that!

That sounds interesting but would it be of use to someone who is not using Photoshop? Does it describes the processes in general or is it more a step by step through Photoshop’s menus?

The Minolta freebie that came with the camera is very basic so I have downloaded Rawshooter and have been using that for a week or so. I am still learning the basic manipulation tools available to me in Rawshooter but it appears easier to use than the Minolta viewer.

I also have a ArcSoft Photostudio 5 which came free with a Canon scanner some time ago. I have occasionally used it to resize and crop jpegs but nothing more. Anyone know if it’s any good?
