Jpeg Vs RAW files Fuji S5600

[jagdpanther]

Ok, further to the thread ongoing about converting RAW files from a digital camera to the PC, I would like to know what the benefits and differences are between RAW data photos and uploading them as the normal high quality Jpeg????????

Mainly: You can alter the colour balance in a raw file, but when you save as a jpg, you 'set in stone' it's balance.

Ahhh I see

So Im guessing the alterations in the colour balance would be through a secondary programme such as PhotoStudio/Photoshop??

This is very good and it's free!
