When I edit an image, I save it as TIFF for all the edition (or PSP if I am working with layers). But yes, I should be shooting RAW, everone says.

I was shooting in sand dunes and rocks under a slightly hazy sky yesterday. The guy I was with hasn't got anything decent because he shot on his "green square" jpg setting (he's new to photography). The shots I got needed tone-curve and WB adjustment to escape the super-flat contrast and yellow-brown cast, after which the results are excellent. There are some conditions where the standard camera functions just can't cope, even if the WB is adjusted, and you need to process in Canon's RAW processor (which, BTW, can also entirely remove CA from RAW files but not from jpgs, something that nobody seems to mention but which is increasingly important as iS becomes ever more fascist about CA rejections).

Just to clarify, by shooting JPEG I don't mean shooting in auto-everything mode. Even in my Powershot, I use aperture or manual exposure and adjust WB depending on the situation, as I explained before.

Yup... getting WB right in camera is important.
Believe it or not, maybe your type of photography is general and doesn't need WB control, okay, your work, but in controlled lighting, WB does mather, and not easily controlled with post processing programs, there will always be a noticeable difference unless you get it right in camera.
