I have a list of lists
{{a,b,c},{d,e,f},{g,h,i},...}.
1. To each value 1 has to be added.(I can do that.)
2. The new values (a+1,b+1,...) have to be raised to a series of powers:
a,d,g have to be raised to r;
b,e,h have to be raised to s and c,f,i to t.
There is no function governing the exponents r,s,t;they are just a list
of values like-(1/256) or-(1/12).
Map,Thread,Apply&c.so far knew to thwart my efforts most effectively.
Thank you very much for your help.

Matthias:
I don't know if I have understood correctly your question. Here is a 
way to solve problems of this type:
If
aLst={{a,b,c},{d,e,f},{g,h,i}};
powerLst={r,s,t};
then
Transpose[Transpose[aLst+1]^powerLst]
gives the list 
{{(1+a)^r, (1+b)^s, (1+c)^t}, {(1+d)^r,(1+e)^s,(1+f)^t},
                                      {(1+g)^r,(1+h)^s,(1+i)^t}}
If you wanted the list 
{{1+a^r, 1+b^s, 1+c^t}, {1+d^r,1+e^s,1+f^t}, {1+g^r,1+h^s,1+i^t}
you should use
Transpose[Transpose[aLst]^powerLst+1]
