Photoshop is the industry standard for most. There are others out there that are goot as well depending on your level. Photoshop may be more than you need. for just simple photo editing, there is Archsoft Photostudio (under $100). GIMP is another photo editing program that is free. It has a lot of the same features that PhotoShop has. As far a RAW format goes... raw is not always raw. I mean that a lot of the raw formats that Kodak, Canon, Nikon, ect.. use are different than the others. So the program you use, may not support the raw format you have. Most cameras that have raw will have their own software to convert it. You may also find that you may never need to use raw, you may not see the difference and raw can be a lot slower.

Not sure what you mean by Raw photos but I am currently scanning old family pics to make a CD and I use Microsoft photo editor. The new version is Microsoft picture manager which is NOT as good so I reloaded photo editor from my old windows 98 version (you can get it from XP too). I adjust photos from my digital camera and from scans.
Photo Editor has everything necessary: cropping, zoom, sharpening, and color adjustments which are my favorite. Also fun themes like watercolor, charcoal.... It is the easiest I have found.
I tried alot of others (paid $$$). I also have PictureGear studio (don't know where I got it) and Photo explosion (came with my lexmark printer) downloaded but still Photo Editor the best I found.

Adobe PSCS2 has a raw converter bridge/ ACR built in. Your camera software probably came with a RAW converter. You can take it into Photoshop as a tiff, 8 or 16 bit.
There are other programs as well, most optimized to work with Adobe.

I am using Capture One for raw. I've that Adobe raw converter is good now.
Photoshop is still the best one for adjusting photos.

Use raw shooter from http://www.photo-freeware.net/raw-shooter-essentials.php
It's nice for raw handling and more, it's free. Good luck with raw shooting!
