A couple of the Lumix camera shoot RAW format. If you want to have the most control shoot RAW and edit in Adobe Lightroom. If you have a student in the home you can get LR3 for about $80. Easy to use editing software.

RAW is nice, but can have a steep learning curve.
Does Photoshop Elements have a raw convertor?
I shoot RAW/JPG simultaniously and while it burns memory, also lets me compare images easily. I also have a 'batch conversion' set up in Photoshop.

But, no matter which system you settle on (Workflow, in photo terms) you should work on getting a calibration system for your monitor.
I use an inexpensive HUEY system and Gutenprint drivers for my Epson printer. My printer output is nearly an exact match for what I see on the screen.....And Do Not forget that the screen is an RGB system and that printers are CMYK, so matching can sometimes be a pain.
Too much is never enough
