Nikon D100 question re digital images

Back again, this time armed with the D100, two 512 mb cards, spare battery & Nixvue 30 gb Vista storage, off to South America to take heaps of photos in a little over 2 weeks.

Getting used to the beast but am a bit puzzled about which format to use for the images. So far I've used JPEG but, from what I read, this does not give maximum resolution. I understand RAW gives the best possible results but hesitate about setting it to that. What limitations does that format have re display on the Nixvue, on a TV etc? If the computer needs the Nikon software to handle RAW images my naive thinking suggests they would not show up on a TV during our travels - correct or not?

My aim is to concoct a Powerpoint slide show on return and project it with the Braco projector on a 112 inch wide screen so maximum fidelity is important when the images are to be blown up very large.

I'm also a novice re graphics programs to use so would appreciate advice here. Again, my reading suggests Adobe Photoshop is the ultimate but maybe I do not need that and, if that was the best to use, option III in color mode would appear to be optimal for lanscapes.

Advice please

John

Peace at AA
