TBH dude I just shoot in a large JPEG format... I rarely feel the need to use RAW.

Thanks, 
just spent my last 15 minutes reading up on the link posted.
Seems i'll be best sticking with high qual Jpeg and maybe just try raw with Cs3 to learn a bit more.

I only shoot in RAW but I'm a lord.
I only shoot in jpeg if it's a do like camping at the weekend when I'm not fuissed abotuthe pic. If I'm trying for a good shot or urbexxing etc then it's RAW all the way baby.

Can't check this yet due to being in work but if you open a raw image into cs2/3 does it lock the filters menu's and only let you change saturation levels and exposure...

Pritty much the same as Jay, I shoot in RAW 99% of the time. If i'm just snapping random photos, something for ebay etc, i'll just shoot in JPEG to save having to convert it from RAW to JPEG etc.

Could do with installing CS3 but a few brushes i have i know are specific to CS2 and won't work in 3 infact most of my additions in CS2 are listed as being defunct once upgraded.
i'll probably try using Raw at weekend and get CS3 installed have a play
