Hi Tedz, I know Im late to the party. Be careful once you go RAW you may never go back! Raw will give you so much more flexibility in the final image its not even close with this decision. You can change the resolution, color balance, and white point with little loss of quality in the final image. We talk of postproduction in Photoshop, RAW is preproduction you can also work in 16 bit as opposed to 8 bit files. Whit more file data you can produce sharper images when having to enlarge them to huge sizes. I just had to produce some files that were 48 by 72 inches to be made into skins for a soda machine the resulting file were 235 megs I hope you have lots of ram. It worked out great. Randy
