Jorge and Kevin, We have taken your advice and given the DPP software a proper run and, yes, you are right we have done Canon an injustice. Hope to be forgiven. Thanks for drawing this to our attention.
We have been very happy to have the opportunity to liberate ourselves from the shortcomings of film. Problems with colour and speed, more problems with labs, and always problems with security, customs, heat and cold and so on. Paradoxically, although we have learned to love digital, software will always be the bane of our lives. Perhaps it's an age thing. But Photoshop is the only programme that we have found really intuitive. Photoshop always gets better and its applications seem to be limited only by our imagination, or lack of it. Somehow everybody else's software presents us with as many problems as solutions. DPP does work well but we've just got used to Adobe RAW and for editing and metadata we're going to have to work between the two. It would be nice to think that Canon could have either offered the total solution or have co-operated with Adobe so that we could enjoy he best of both worlds. But that's just probably carping. Both the Mark II and the results seem to justify the considerable outlay so we don't have a lot to complain about. All the best for Christmas and the New Year to everyone.
