Can someone please help me...? I used a friends Cannon 70D camera to take some pictures at my family reunion. the settings were set for raw, and now I have pictures I can't use..... How can I convert them to jpeg?
I use Photoshop to open and view raw images. I believe Lightroom and even some other programs (some free) will do the same. After I do any pp, I have a choice of file type and location for saving the image. Note: I always make sure to select "copy" so my original image remains in its native file type. Hope this helps.

Your friend should have a copy of Canon's Digital Photo Professional which can convert them. Since your friend had the camera set to raw he must have the software to convert them for his own use. Why aren't you asking him?
The Corel "after shot 3 standard" is free. It is not the Pro version, but should do you well.
http://lp.corel.com/as3"Edit faster, deliver higher quality images sooner and get back behind the camera where you belong with Corel® AfterShot™ Pro 3, the world’s fastest RAW photo-editing software - up to 4 x faster than Adobe® Lightroom®*. Brand and protect your work with new Watermarking, regain more detail in overexposed images with enhanced Highlight Recovery, and cut editing time with new Blemish Remover tools."
You can get your own copy of Canon software, but you will ...as I recall, need a camera S#. For that just ask your friend for the S# of the camera you used. No not immoral, unethical, etc... they just want to know which Canon so as to match software to camera. If the S# has been ground off... er well, Oh, Oh!!
Lightroom and Photoshop both use Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) to decode raw files. ON1 offers another decoder. Use the one that is linked to the PP program you prefer.
It pretty much looks like a way to collect email addresses. I made the attempt to download the file, choosing the non-Dropbox option. It downloaded to Dropbox, anyway. I don't have a Dropbox account, and see no need to open one for one file. I'll just chalk this up to experience, and brace for the SPAM onslaught that is about to ensue.

Download the free faststone image viewer or the faststone photo resizer. the viewer allows you to see the picture - do rudimentary edits and also save it as a jpg file. The resizer will allow you to save as a jpeg and also resize the photo.
Both free, both great dependable products

Download Canon Digital Photo Professional from the Canon website. It should open the raw files, allow you to adjust them, and convert them to TIFF or JPEG.

He'll need the serial number of the camera body from his friend to do that.
Lots of good suggestions here. I personally love Faststone Image Viewer but have used some of the others.
One quick program I will offer up here is something called IJFR (Instant Jpeg From Raw).
What it does is pull out the Jpeg that is embedded in the RAW file.
http://michaeltapesdesign.com/instant-jpeg-from-raw.htmlI always loved this program even though I have not used it recently.
I always loved being able to have that and never have to shoot RAW+Jpeg.
OK. I've been shooting and saving JPEGs my entire digital life. I've seen enough about RAW to at least make me curious. What will the RAW format do for me? Will it make editing easier? Will it make the pictures look better? I'm definitely not opposed to trying something new, I just want to know some particulars. I know I need a viewer/editor. That is on the way as I write this.

True, he'll need that, but if he needs a s/n any one of us will give him that if he wants to go this route. This is probably the best route since the DPP software will keep his picture styles when converted to jpg and he won't have to process the raw images.
