| hey guys, everyone talks about RAW around here, and how you edit the white balance and everything in your photos even AFTER you have taken them, how do you do this? Do you edit the white balance on your computer afterwards? or is it on the actual camera? I'm very confused about this |

RAW Shooter Essential is what I use. Others use the plu-ins in CS2.

Set WB on camera and if you don't like it fix on the computer. PS plugin or Nikon software will do it.

When you shoot RAW, you are storing the data right off the sensor, which has NO white balance applied. The WB setting on the camera is stored separately from the image data in the same file, and is later interpreted by the RAW converter. youcan, however, change it in the RAW converter, since you're working from the RAW data.
RAW also allows you to "pull back" overexposure to a small degree (amount dependent on camera) as well as control the amount of contrast enhancement, saturation and sharpening applied. You can also save as uncompressed 16-bit-per-channel TIFF if you please, as opposed to lossy-compressed, 8-bit-per-channel JPEG.
