hi maureen congrates on the new camera..
Raw is more complicated than shooting in jpg .. but when it comes down to it if you can try shooting in raw from the start it will give you a "main" file as good as the day you took it when ever you want it! with jpg the more you do to the image the more degrades and you will find the quality will diminish in time, Raw gives you so much more control over your image deciding how warm or cold... how dark, you can play with the colours and much more without ruining the image
have fun
