For me, the highest res jpeg doesn't cut it. Raw is like a negative,
jpeg is like a print. Exposure correction with raw can be up to plus
or minus one stop, sometimes more. Color correction is a no brainer.
Also raw editors, at least the one I use, is non-destructive --- you
always have your original.
