RAW format is how camera sees image, its not the edited, corrected, compressed image you see after processing.... Its up to you to do what ever retouch and save image in graphic format you desire... Very powerful image and needs great photo processioning tools, struggle through learning curve on your chosen image processor program it will be rewarding....

I always shoot in RAW formats and process image into either JPG or PNG... IF you want simplest photo processing software, something like IRFANVIEW (which I believe supports Cannon RAW) will crop, sharpen, color balance (correct), resize and save image in many formats of your choice... Its a very simplified image processor program, but powerful...

ITs free, and just try it, if you do not like it, nothing lost...
