Most cameras save images in JPEG format. By using JPEG the camera will compress part of the information in the image. If you set your camera to shoot in RAW, it will save the image as a large uncompressed file. This means that you have much more information in the image and you can do more with the file when you get it home.
To make the most of your RAW images you need a RAW file converter such as the Camera RAW Plug-In that is available in many versions of Photoshop or a free RAW converter such as Raw Therapee. You can then make more adjustments to the image including altering the exposure and colour temperature.
