But isnt the purpose of using the jpeg output option of the camera so you can just go straight to a print lab and print the jpegs without having to do any digital processing of the images on a PC or laptop? It sounds like you cant do RAW and get instant **USABLE** results which is what I meant. jco

You can't do anything with anything digital, jpeg, raw, uncle Tom Cobbley or otherwise, without some digital processing, by definition. It doesn't matter if the file format is proprietary provided the camera supports a widely-used interface such as PictBridge if you want to print on minilab printers etc. Even so, you've tried to shift the goalposts. In the statement below, to which I replied, you merely talked about instant results, and you mentioned Photoshop tweaking. But there are plenty of other applications than Photoshop which can read raw files and provide perfectly acceptable results quickly with no tweaking. The particular example I was thinking of, and which I use, is Lightroom. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of J. C.
