Okay, I finally caved in, and I'm starting to shoot raw.
I have Silky Pix (came with the Panasonic). I'm not so thrilled with how it works or its power.
I have Digital Photo Professional (came with the Canon); it doesn't recognize the raw files from the FZ200. I like its power and interface.
I looked at PHotoShop Elements at a big box store and decided that it seems to be all focused tricks and gimmicks.
What would you recommend for basic photo processing -- saturation, contrast, sharpening, cropping, etc?
Cheers, Jock
Download the free trial of Photoshop Elements before you dismiss it. It doesn't do everything the "real" Photoshop does, but it's a lot more than tricks and gimmicks once you dig a little. Having said that, I'm using version 8 and will probably switch to Lightroom when Windows stops supporting it. I bought the download for 11 and hated the organizer so I "returned" it for a refund.
Check out Irfanview - with a plugin it might work for you. It isn't a good organizer, but it's free. organizer.IrfanView Formats
Aren't there RAW plugins for theGimp? Phone's ringing, gotta go.
