The RAW format provides a "digital negative" containing the untouched data as it came off of the cameras CCD or CMOS sensor. Many of the in-camera settings such as sharpening, saturation, and white balance can be chosen after the shutter is pressed by applying these settings to the RAW data on the computer. Lastly, JPEG compression used in cameras is a "lossy" format meaning that some data is lost in compressing the file. Shooting RAW allows you to bypass this compression and retain the maximum amount of data in your images.
