First time editing RAW. Please help C&C
Please keep in mind that I know this is not a very good picture. I just wanted to do some side by side comparison of JPEG vs RAW. I did the exact same amount of slider work on both images. The only difference is I followed (I followed what I could being as that I only have Elements) the advice from this thread. A full photoshop workflow It is harder starting from the RAW image but I think there is a definite better image quality. Please keep in mind this was a literal 5 minute edit and comparison.
RAW ![]() JPEG

the 'RAW' looks more appealing to me. but what are you demonstrating here? i'm not sure i follow your point.
you shot a RAW+JPEG of the scene then PPd both the same way? (to create two, comparable JPEGS?)

Yes that is correct. I wanted to see just how much better, if any, shooting RAW is.

It's just so much harder editing them. Maybe it's just because I'm a noob at RAW. Here is a question. I'm running windows 7 and I have no way to preview the raw files bedoreni select them. Any ideas?

Did your Nikon come with a program to view RAW files in? Mine did... I haven't reinstalled it so i could be wrong, but installed the programs when i had windows vista and thought that was what they were for but at that point i was still shooting JPG so wasn't certain. I beleive picasa... wait let me go check before i go suggesting possibilities I'll come back to this.
