RAW converters for OS X, was Re: Windoze versions and DS

Hi Aaron, Do you have PSCS 1? It's just about as good as version 2. I have one at home, two at work. Version two adds some nice tweaks, but the results are pretty much the same. The upsizing from conversion is very good in both. You have to dodge and burn post conversion. But you can of course

In terms of a RAW Converter, I think you'd be better off with PS Elements 3 or 4. On Jun 26, 2006, at 11:48 PM, Aaron Reynolds wrote: > > On Jun 26, 2006, at 11:36 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > >> Do you have PSCS 1? It's just about as good as version 2 > > Nope, running Photoshop 7 still. When yo

I meant only in comparison to using the plug-in converter with PhotoShop 7. The software Godfrey suggested and other alternatives might be better. But the RAW Converter for Elements is reportedly quite close in capability to the version used with PSCS. Paul -- Original message ---

Not sure what Paul will say Aaron, but I have El 3 and loaded up the new ACR to work with D200 Nefs. Its a cheaper program, about $100.00 or less and you can do raw conversions with some limitations. The main stuff is there, but you don't have the lens adjustment parts. I don't really care fo
