So I was kind of excited to get my new pokarized filter for my canon rebel xt. I have been using photoshop for a while. By no means am I an expert. However. How come my clouds and such don't pop with my filter? I take the photo and then it looks differet on screen than it does in the eye of the camera. Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting the contrast in the sky?

While we are on the topic of phography. I am slightly confused by the "converting images from raw?" Why would I want to do this? And how is this done? Simply by saving the Jpeg File in photoshop? If you could please Help me that would be great! Thanks..

If your shooting INTO the sun or if the sun is behind you, a polarizer won't help much. But, if the sun is at 90 degrees, you'll see a bigger difference.

Re your preview screen: Trust your eyes, not your screen. If you're shooting in RAW, you can adjust some of the settings anyway. Just make sure focus, shutter speed/aperture and ISO are correct and you'll be fine.
