If your goal is simply a jpg, you should start in jpg and be done with it. It doesn't really matter whether the camera compresses the file or you do so in edit. Canon Camera Download SoftwareIf that is ALL you want, simply a jpg. Millions are completely happy with the jpg their Rebel provides. Onthe other hand, if you want the best your camera and lens can provide, you must shoot in RAW. And, you must use post editing software. RAW offers so much more ability and info to adjust and correct than any jpg. But you must be willing to do post editing. DPP is on the bottom. It has some limited basic features. It is free with the camera. The best choice and my favorite, is Lightroom. It makes RAW conversion seemless. It has lot's of features that will do 90% of anything you will ever want. It is not free but it isn't expensive. LR never alters you original RAW file which can be reclaimed at any point. It also catalogs your photos, so later you can actually find what you are looking for. Just plug you Rebel in (USB) and let LR do the rest. It will d/l the photos. Put them into a folder and present a screen for you to look at and/or edit. It will save your edits and let you make catalogs that are meaningful to you for later refference. There is Photoshop and it's little brother Photoshop Elements. Either will do virtually anything that can be done to a RAW file. PSE is cheap. Both have learning curves but PSE makes it pretty simple. The DPP software (Canon Digital Photo Professional) has the ability to 'batch' convert your photos from RAW to JPEG. In 'batch' mode, you can point it at a directory full of RAW files and it will convert them all. JPEG is a great 'final output' format and works great for images that wont need any adjustment. The downside of JPEG is that it's compression system results in a loss of original data that may hinder your ability to adjust the images. It plays upon weaknesses of the human eye by taking pixels that are so similar that your eye 'probably wouldn't notice the difference' and just makes them the same. This aids compression. But if you needed to adjust that image (particularly exposure levels) you'll find that the fine detail is lost and the adjusted image looks bad. RAW preserves all of the original data. But this means no adjustment can be made in-camera that would result in any loss of original data. So the files are much larger (they don't compresses nearly as well) and there are certain types of adjustments you tend to apply to nearly every image and these still need to be processed.
