I have been through this raw thing tons of times with my S2...had it for 3
years and spent the first year doing all RAW...to be honest if you think about
what you are doing when you initially take the shot there really is no
difference between that and jpeg...at least up to 13x19....after that I could
care less.
I use RAW now only in early morning or late at night...
With jpeg you may have to bracket your exposures....but this is something from
the good ole manual focus days everyone seems to have forgotten now. These are
the rules I have followed and this have no need for RAW anymore except in real
tight situations. Problem with digital is that everyone wants the perfect
right RIGHT AWAY...you never had that with film hence people bracketed their
exposures.
Just wait until someone makes up "RAW 2"...oh how aweful RAW will be then ;-)

Winsor,
I have iPhoto as well and have experienced the same and agree with Chris.
Regardless, I think your pictures of Japan are just great in the slide show.
Many favorites.
Martin
