Starting with RAW
After testing and experimenting for some time, I'm beginning to shoot in RAW for my 'more serious' photos.
So far, of the raw converters I tried, I liked Raw Shooter Premium for the speed, interface and ease of use. The Olympus software is painfully slow (although it gives the best results) and I just don't quite like Adobe Camera Raw, I would like to know what are the raw converters that you guys are using and what is your assessment on them. I did a search and there were some discussions a few months ago comparing raw converters for Olympus' DSLRs, perhaps we can have another round of discussion and also share your tips and pointers to newbie raw shooters like myself. Thanks in advance.

Re: Starting with RAW
Using Adobe Camera Raw here.. maybe because i am just plain lazy.
I do use the olympus software from time to time to see if the difference if its for more important images.

Re: Starting with RAW
you might want to try this.... shoot in adobe98 -> convert all jpegs to sRGB using PS CSii and see the richer colour difference! |

Re: Starting with RAW
Try SilkyPix. The colours obtained are the closest to those from Olympus Studio or Master.
