Ah its OK not nothin' special that I see. It does have a pretty neat High Quality rendering option but no way of actually saving the image ... :rolleyes:

I'll add this: the Highest Quality rendering works quite well. It corrected some images that I had taken indoors but had the cameras white balance set totally wrong and did a marvelous job ... but you can't save the image. :eek:

Read Me File states it only currently supports Canon and Nikon RAW Files.

Just one more tool... ;)

I downloaded it days ago. I tried it a couple of days ago. I even put my XT into RAW + JPEG so that I could compare the two images. The result was there was slightly more colour detail in the RAW image but not enough to make me sit up and use 9.5mb RAW files instead of 3mb JPEGs.

I only shoot in RAW with my 350D/XT. But of course I have plenty of CF Cards + a built by me high end large capacity PC. You can just do more with a RAW image transfered to a TIFF.

Now you're making me wish my computer system was with me in America. I built that myself with twin raid drives, a server and yes - it's a very high-end system.

I could care less about the viewer portion, but for the thumbnail preview, this is a real treat.
