RAW files more exposed?

I just uploaded files from a Canon 20D after shooting RAW + JPEG. The first thing I noticed was that my RAW files were much brighter than my JPEGs, maybe even 1-2 stops more exposed. Is this normal/what causes this? I understand that the RAW file hasn't been "processed" by my camera in the way the JPEG has, but why in the world would they make it artificially much darker...

Thanks,
David

Problem solved...
I'm using Photoshop Elements 3.0, and apparently in the Organizer view it shows the RAW files AFTER it "auto-corrects" them.

yeah I had that exact same problem. I wonder if there is any way to make PSE not automatically auto correct them.

Yes, in the Camera Raw module at the top and right of the adjustment dialogue window you can save a new default. Just uncheck the four auto adjust buttons in the adjustment dialogue and then save as the new default.

Also, check to ensure that your jpeg parameters and working color space are the same. Most adobe rgb jpegs are untagged.
