RAW will need a software to convert it to JPEG or TIFF before you can view it on your computer. Did you get the Canon software along with your XTi?
I can show you how to use your camera sometime. I still love using the rebel series because they are so light. the XTi is a very good starter DSLR.
the reason a couple of your photos came out dark is because of the shutter speed. Im guessing it was darker than it really was in the pics as the one with the "regular" exposures had shutter speeds of half a second to 1.3 seconds long. your ISO speed was 400 which further tells me that even at that sensitive a "film speed", your camera needed quite long of an exposure time to get the picture right. the photo that looked darkest was only at 1/13th of a second, which is technically slow enough to properly expose something unless it was really dark. you also had almost every shot taken at the smallest maximum aperture your lens allowed, which was F/5.6.

Shooting in RAW wont make a difference off the bat. This is the thing - RAW is basically a "digital negative". What you see when you shoot through the viewfinder is what will get captured "as is".
Now where straight JPEG shooting and RAW differ is in processing. with JPEG, the camera's on-board algorithms and software produce the JPEG image you define (i.e. vivid colors, sharpness, contrast, etc.). It literally converts what is shot by the camera, runs it into the processing engine, and locks everything in a saved image file. thats it. you can fine tune it a bit in photoshop or any photo editing software but only up to a point - when on-camera processing (the image quality settings) kicks in, any detail lost is not recoverable. if your highlights are blown, you're screwed. if you have parts of the car in the shade that you want to bring out, you may or may not get it to show.
RAW, on the other hand, is like a negative. you can overexpose or underexpose as you desire. it does not incorporate any image processing onto the file, so in reality, your images come out "flat" or dull. sure they will be sharp depending on the camera and lens, but thats it. you process the file using the provided software with Canon (which you pay extra for Nikon) and either follow up in photoshop or lightroom. when you process, details that you may have lost shooting in JPEG will be there. you can recover from blown highlights (within reason, short of you shooting into the sun), underexposed/overexposed images, increase/decrease saturation, etc. in essence you have full control over the images you capture.
You can shoot both with RAW and JPEG simultaneously on the XTi. if you are satisfied with the JPEG then you're ok. if you arent, you can process the RAW and bring out what you need.
its not a matter of knowing how to shoot in RAW. shooting in RAW is the same as shooting in JPEG. absolutely no difference. the difference is just the file format between the two and which has more usable data.
again.

That is sooo much information to take in. I really think I could benefit from a class or a photog day to get a grasp. Im more of a visual kinda person. Show me and Ill get it done, tell me and it takes a bit..... on some things. Im gonna try shooting in raw and see what I can do. Hopefully I can learn before Acurafest

So randomly today, I get a text from an unknown number saying "I know who egged your house." I didn't know how to proceed so I replied saying "Who is this? I'll reward you for your hard work" The reply was "Reevaluate your close friends. That is all I have to say. Bye!" Like wtf....u approach me by saying you know who it is yet they won't tell me who did it? What a tease....
