Minolta 5d/7d users... what RAW convertor do you all use?

[rOnGrEn]

Hi guys.... after getting my 5D for almost half a year and alwiz shooting in jpeg... i have decided to try shooting in RAW + jpeg today..

Came back and tried to process using the Dimage Master Lite software provided... and it is wayyy tooooooooooooo slow.... (using a laptop..but normal jpeg processing on photoshop is still at an acceptable speed... is editing Raw files generally slow?)...so... my question is... What other programmes do you guys use to convert 5d's RAW files? Kindly recommend some to me!

Thanx in advance!

how abt photoshop cs2 with camera raw?...or rawshooter premium

I am using photoshop cs2.

I don't open every single raw file, I will look through the small jpeg file and work out which one I want to touch up before I open the raw.

Its quite reasonable in terms of speed. I am working from my laptop sometime... Got Core Duo T2400 spec with 1gb RAM. it is very fast, compared to my older P4 2.8 system PC.

I use SilkyPix Developer Studio. Not free, not cheap, not fast. But has alot of capabilties and support alot of cameras including the KM5D/7D.
