I understand the diff between RAW and JPG.... On my Canon XS there is the choice to use RAW or a combo of Raw/JP.... I'm a tad confused as to which one to use and why....

You can use the combo, but I do not see why you should use both as you use a lot card space. You can convert from raw to jpep if you use Canon DPP program. Just use the convert and save to format of choice. It will leave your raw and you have your tiff, jpeg or what ever you choose to do what you like with them. I delete a high percentage when I down load them, especially duplicate shots.

I agree no real reason to shoot and save as both in camera if you are converting on the computer. Unless you were maybe going from camera directly to a viewing device like TV.

Have you tried edit a picture yet from jpeg before doing some adjusting in raw. To see the results try the same picture both ways and see what your results are.

If I am just out shooting stuff for fun, I generally just use Jpeg. If I shoot a concert, I use RAW, same for wedding or portraits.
Some use both raw and jpeg so they can review the jpeg's and decide what they want to keep, then process the RAW keepers. Cuts down processing time.

Not sure I am addressing your question, not quite sure what you mean. But her is what I do. If I shoot jpeg and raw, when I download them to the computer, I make a new folder and move all the raw images to the new folder. Then process the raw in Lightroom.

I feel it is entirely up to you. I have used JPEG and RAW, but never the combo. The slight automatic processing in JPEG is much more likely to give you an image you can take straight out of the camera untouched. I work on them anyway to create a more eye-popping image. RAW looks bland ut of the camera, becauee it leaves even the most basic processing to up to you.
In Photoshop CS5 I work many of my JPEGS anyway, becausse it has some features that do not have a competing component in Photoshop proper. This includes an effective noise filter, a good fill adjustment for backlit shots, and some ways of enhancing the blue in the sky when the circular polarizer stayed home.

Don: I usually shoot Fine JPG + RAW. If the CAMERA does a good job on the JPG interpretation - then that's the one I keep - sleazy easy! IF the JPG highlights are blown, the shadows are too dark, or the white balance is off - I can go back to the RAW and recompose to my liking.
.
Although probably a no-no - once I'm happy - I do delete the RAW images - - they eat 25MB each on the HDD when transferred from my 7D. True - I do have the option to use Small and Medium RAW - but prefer to capture the whole shebang in case I need it.
.
IF I were doing a pro shoot (which I don't cuz I'm just a Rabid hobbyist) - I would keep EVERYTHING - Forever !!
