Default Re: Newbie Raw Question

Another "dumb" question: if you take a RAW image and convert it to jpeg in your computer to work with it, where does the advantage of RAW come from? I thought that the reason for RAW was that you would be using a "digital negative" where all of the information captured by the camera was preserved. What's the difference then between shooting a jpeg in the camera or converting it to a jpeg in the computer?

Also, I'm having trouble installing Abobe Camera Raw 3.1. It comes as a zip file. When I unzip it, my zip utility puts it in the "unzipped" folder. What do I do with it then?
