i appologize in advance for the clumsiness of this question:

I just got adobe CS today, hoping i would be able to quickly edit Raw files, one after another (similar to how thumbs plus edits jpegs). So far, as far as i can figure it out, you have to open each raw file, correct it (or apply a pre-saved correction), save it as a jpeg, and open the next. I would like to be able to do all this, preferably using hot keys to save time, without the extra steps (and extra processing time)?

does anybody at least understand my question, let alone have an answer?

i have a feeling i need to get another program, but i thought i should go ahead and ask around first.
