Working with RAW is essentially the same as working with a JPEG file. Whatever you can do with a JPEG you can do with a RAW file. The RAW file is MUCH larger. The main difference is that you can do even more with a RAW file while keeping the image in an original state.
When I think about the difference between JPEG and RAW, I usually come to the conclusion that JPEG takes a picture based on the settings you have selected on your camera. But RAW also stores data as if you had made other original changes to exposure, white balance. So it would be like taking the same picture 5, 10 or 20 times using different settings, but RAW does that in one picture.
For my Nikon camera I simply edit the RAW settings using the free Nikon "Editor" software that came with my camera. I think it is perfect.
