I used to shoot film when I was younger and I worked on the school newspaper. I remember spending time in the dark room processing pictures. Once I started shooting with a DSLR I compared raw files with the negatives and jpeg files to the prints from the negative. A raw file saves all the info from the sensor and isn't permanently changed. A jpeg just uses and saves the settings that you were using at that time like a polaroid. The only time that I shoot in jpeg+raw is when I don't have access to a computer that can convert raw files and I want to put the files on a computer right away. It sucks when you forget to change the white balance or the picture style, for example going outside after shooting inside and forgetting to or not having time to change from tungsten to sunlight and having all the pictures come out blue. Or not changing the from monochrome and taking pictures of colorful flowers. In raw you can change all that in PP with a jpeg you might just be out of luck.
