RAW is what it was as you snapped the picture.
That file is taken off the camera and stored on a server.
It has characteristics that don't necessarily look good on a web page or wedding album.
An image processor, like Photoshop, is used to adjust the image to look better for the purpose it is designed for. Maybe wedding pictures, for example.
In this case, it is adjusted for web viewing (different color standard, compressed file size), but in the process you are able to manipulate what's in the image as well.
The processed file is saved to a different file from the one you started with.
Usually, you wouldn't work with an original to start with, anyway. You would use a copy you took from wherever the original is stored.
That's what is being asked for. A copy of the file that was created as the shutter was opened. It shows only what the camera saw with no human intervention.
