Adobe - Photoshop Lightroom

I downloaded a demo of this program and I gotta say it's fantastic.

I have a Canon Rebel XTi that I recently bought to learn some photography. Setting the camera to take pictures in RAW mode allows you to do some post processing to really enhance the pictures.

Since I'm a beginner and had no clue what RAW mode meant(other than filling up my memory card 4x as fast), I did some digging. The way I understand it, capturing the images in RAW mode is pretty much dumping the files to the memory card as the camera sees it through the lens. This basically leaves you with a file that can be 'developed' an infinite amount of times with something like Lightroom. I don't have any good examples to post up yet since I'm still learning both the camera and the program but I'll work on it and show some different things that can be done.

No compression. Most people use jpeg and any time you run something in and out (altering it) of a lossy compressor you lose data thus the name.
