Lightroom is one of several post-process software packages which easily handles RAW photos, and otherwise has the ability to post all the images on the screen (similar to the old days when there was a film strip of negatives), where you can view and select the "keepers" while discarding the others, leaving you with a manageable number of images to process in the impressive Lightroom post-processing suite of options..
Since RAW images are much too large to share via email, or online posting, LIghtroom then has an EXPORT function where selected images can be converted to .jpeg and stored in a catalog for ultimate local viewing or to share as desired.
Flickr is a online service (which is free) where you can upload your images for public viewing. or you can designate PRIVAYE for selected audiences.
That process is the alternative to what you brother did, i.e. darkroom with acid bath, film drying, then pasting into a scrapbook for selected audience viewing, or mail to family members. Yes how time has changed.
