Any tips for RAW processing?

[Norm in Fujino]

I'm shooting high-quality JPEGs while still getting used to the camera, but I'd like to move to RAW processing before long. Anybody have any good tips/leads for optimum work flow, favorite tutorials, etc.?

You might cruise the web for material from Uwe Steinmueller. I have the iNova e-book for the D70 and he had a nice tutorial on Raw included. The tutorial alone is not good enough reason to spend $50 on the e-book.

Try the RawShooter software as its FREE: http://esd.element5.com/product.html?productid=300013536&languageid=1&cart=1&currencies=EUR,all&noquickbuy=1 and from what I've experienced works rather well ... thanks to GR ... ;)

I'm starting to make RAW my format of choice.

Thanks George and Bluedog; I'll follow up those leads.

I would also suggest trying Bibble, they have a fully functional 15 day trial, and it is fairly cheap to buy ($60), I much prefered it to RawShooter, but its just personal preference, worth trying out though....

Thanks for the heads-up, J. I'll check it out as well.

Haven't yet purchased it, but I've heard nothing but great things about Bruce Fraser's book "Real World Camera Raw."

I believe it deals mostly with ACR though.
