I think that not shooting in RAW, especially when you are learning, is a mistake. RAW gives you a chance to experiment more with your shots and learn what works and what does not.
Cropping and correcting exposure and white balance are just the most obvious.
For long lasting archival, you can allways convert to DNG.
I've read a lot of K. Rockwell's pieces. His aversion for RAW sometimes seems leaning towards boasting of been able to get the perfect shot every time. Some of the advise and technique explanations are Ok. But on the whole, I agree with the previous post... I wished that I had found DPS before I found Rockwell's site.
