For mac users: Which RAW converter is the best?

[wind30]

Hehe I am still using C1pro leh... So which program is better for S3pro RAW files?

I don't pixel peep. The differences in details between ACR, HU and Silkypix is very very small.

However ACR and HU has a big flaw which is easily visible on certain photos.

ACR has false color (something like color fringing) at areas of high contrast.

HU don't have the above problem but its cannot hold the highlights as well as ACR. The recovered highlights sometimes have wrong color cast.

Silkypix 3.0 doesn't have the above 2 problems BUT it is super slow. In terms of IQ I think silkpix is the best as the recovered highlights has less noise than ACR. I think silkpix do some NR on the small pixels during highlight recovery.

I never tried C1pro though.

I can only comment on Olympus E-system.

1) Olympus Studio
2) Silkypix
3) ACR

I think there is a seminar for Aperture at 14 Mar.

Where will the seminar be held? Any other information?
