If you are using Adobe Raw via Photoshop stick with it and you will find it becomes a lot easier. There are numerous videos on YouTube and on the net that will provide you with some visual guidance. I have posted a few RAW presets to help you out, you can find others on the web.

Creating presents within Adobe RAW will save you a lot of time and provide you with a good starting point to edit your images.

I found Adobe Lightroom is easy to use in terms of RAW processing, but since I have learned a developed a little more using Photoshop, I no longer use Lightroom. Lots of RAW converter programmes but which one is the most simple to use I have no idea. Anyway I hope the above is of some use?

Many thanks, I had no ideas there were this average value.
Are those values applicable to other softwares?

Lightroom is great for batch processing files; so you can edit multiple files all at once or with the same settings and it's a good price at the moment.
Google Picasa is a decent freebie alternative.

Yup. Lightroom's develop presets are fantastic for applying a general tweak for multiple similar pics. I do this and then apply little tweaks to individual pics.

I have tried to look for an easy software, almost authomatic, to work on raw files but I had no luck despite trying 3 of them.
Any suggestions?
I do not really enjoy, or have enough time, to edit all the photos I take, and the reason I have started to shoot in RAW is the fact that they have a much better definition even than the JPG maximum quality.
Please advise, thanks in advance
