Kitty,
Glad you like the pics. I make a point of using my C5050z . I only have 2 cameras and they have to do everything for me. Luckily they are both excellent ,though different, machines. I'm now looking at the new samsung which is what Olympus should be making! Although I find the controls on the samsung wb700 not very easy to use ( got my hands on one in Milano).
To RAWTHERAPEE
my way of working is this.
Transfer all my files into a folder on a hard drive (either USB drive or C:) then create a subfolder called RTEED .
When I open RT I load the folder where I have my files.
I then work them (they can be batched too) and save them as JPG with the appendage RT in the file name. I save them in the subfolder RTEED.
In GIMP , which is the next software I use for cloning , sharpening etc just like PSE. I then open the folder RTEED and work on JPG's, which I then save in a further subfolder called GIMPED. I also add g to the file name.
These last files are the ones I crop and eventually save on Flickr or print etc.
I also create a RAWTHERAPEE processing profile for a batch of shots
where light and times are similar. I have also created a basic "crisp" profile which automatically writes copyright info to the metadata.
So I first use as a base for the batch profile the "crisp" profile with metadata. Then having processed the first picture to my satisfaction regarding colour, contrast etc I save that profile giving it a silly name to remember by.I also straighten out the horizons in RT.
Now you know why my files are RTGCR (rawtherapee,gimp,crop)sometimes.
Hope this sort of thing works for you too!

All my processing will be done in Rawtherappee and then I would go into PSE to save photos? All this is not clicking. When I put in the memory card, my photos will go into Rawtherapee, I make the adjustments and then transfer them into PSE. Maybe I should just go back to shooting Jpeg.
