Here are the steps in my workflow: Shoot RAW
edit in camera (probably--and by edit, I mean throw away the garbage) Transfer to computer Edit with a previewing application. For PC there are several like breezebrowser or thumbsplus (I believe)-see dpreview for links to others, for mac there are only one or two (iview mediapro is excellent) or you can "extract" the smaller jpegs from the files using the canon software and then preview those. Once you have decided which images to work on, convert them using the canon Raw Image Converter (RIC) applying changes to white balance, sharpening, contrast, exposure, etc. Save as Tiff 16bit. For PCs, there are other, 3rd party programs that can do the conversion too (like, I believe, MacBibble). The only drawback to the canon stuff is it is slow. Open in photoshop, possibly apply a profle conversion or assign a working space profile, color correct, resample, convert to 8bit, sharpen, output. Pretty quick process, really, when compared to scanning and dust spotting film. And infinitely more control than sending it out to a lab. My comments about what the 3rd party PC software stuff does may be wrong, because I use a mac.
