Further question!Yesterday I went out and took numerous photographs at a local cricket match and decided to shoot in RAW. There are a couple of things that I need help with please. Firstly I have managed to get the shots onto my PC and was immediately surprised that I could actually see anything of the images as I always thought that I had to do something with a RAW file before I would be able to even look at it. However I have opened up Digital Photo Professional and sure enough there are my 199 images showing under the heading 'Folder', I then went through each of the images in turn to decide which of them I would send to a couple of friends and as I chose each shot I went into 'File' and 'Add to collection' and then ended up with just that, a collection of my chosen shots that I could send on to my friends but, I couldn't see how to 'Save' this collection. I then assumed that as I had created it then the programme would automatically save it but, when I came out of the programme and then went into it later I found that the B**** collection was no longer there so I need to start all over again ( a thousand curses!). So a number of questions arise here.....even though I can see the "RAW" images in the folder, do I need to do anything with them before they can be saved in a 'collection' and, I also spotted a thread where someone had updated their version of DPP and for the life of me I cannot see how to do this, can anyone please tell me how to go about getting the update. The only other software that I have is Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0. I also took a couple of hundred images in JPEG just in case I made a mess of the venture into RAW so I will obviously be having to do some 'sharpening etc' of both sets of my images but again this will all be new ground for me, so a lot of work ahead methinks, along with more help from TP'ers. Now I am fairly new to all of this and am just getting into the more enthusiastic side of photography and whilst I am 'reasonable' on a pc I am not that brilliant so do need a little guidance. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I would also like to put up some of my shots for comment by the extremely helpful folk here on TP. Many many thanks in advance of any help being offered.

Yes you're absolutely right folks it is all a bit messy and I really didn't give the layout enough thought when I posted.......no wonder it took an age for anyone to respond!!!
Anyway, thanks to both who did respond and your point has been registered in what bit of brain that I do have, ready for next time. Thanks too for the link.
