Hi Nina,
You will need some software that converts your RAW files to Jpeg. I don't know about Canon, but you may already have some software that came with your camera that will do the job. I'm sure a Canon user will come along soon to confirm this.

... Failing that, you can download this free program that will also do the job.

Assuming that it supports the 400D.

I normally use CS2 however if you got Digital Photo Professional with your camera software it will open a RAW file, let you make a few adjustments and under File/Convert and Save will let you save as a JPEG.

Really easy...........just open the file..........go to file (top left hand corner of screen) then save as (in the drop down menu) then a new small screen appears and choose your format type by using the drop down arrow next to the word format (ie Tiff Jpeg will display) highlight Jpeg and bingo.
