Hi, I would like to solicit some thoughts on RAW files... I'm quite new to photography and i'm exploring / experimenting on RAW files... from my understanding, RAW files are unprocessed pictures. Processing is done by the computer... my questions are, do RAW files potentially produce better image quality? What are the Pros & Cons in taking RAW files? Is it a vital aspect in photography even if I'm quite adept in Photoshop?

Well, i hope some of you can shed some light to this...


Thanks
