  Can you explain the above please Shoshanna. I was under the impression that RAW files can't be printed as a RAW file, but must be translated to another type of file. I admit I have tons of holes in my digital and PS knowledge and I must have heard or read this and believed it.  Ques is.............. How does one enlarge directly from a RAW file?....OR, am I confusing, enlarging with printing.
  thannks
