use the 'file viewer' utility that came with the software for your camera.

Unless you are using Photoshop CS, you will need to convert them with a separate application. You have one on your CD from Canon, however there are better ones out there. Do a Google search for "Canon RAW Converter". Some consider Capture1 the best alternative on the PC.

since you are shooting a canon, you need to install the Raw image Converter which is included as the "Canon File Viewer Utility". Though there are other raw converters on the market, the one from Canon is incl with your camera.
Once you get it in to the viewer, then you can save as a TIF generally. The biggest difference in raw over jpg other than the size, is the color depth is much higher than jpg being only 8 bits or 256 shades of each color vs the raw having 16 bits or more. A common mis-conception is that a raw is a higher resolution, this is not true.
hope this helps... |

Also with JPG there is compression which degrades the image to some degree. In a nutshell this is done mostly by averaging adjacent pixels of similar values. I'm sure someone else can offer a more elaborate technical explanation.
