Shooting RAW can only improve your photography in the long run. The in-camera software that decides what your jpegs should look like is dumb -- it can't see the picture. You have the advantage of eyes and a brain that is a much better processor than the itty bitty one in the camera. With RAW, you not only can control your black point and white point, but you can also vary the midrange infinitely, as well as the color temperature, saturation, vibrance and other variables. With RAW, you are in control. And with just a little bit of practice, you'll be able to kick butt on the camera's jpeg processor.
