Yup - you're going to need something like Raw Shooter Essentials for free. If you get on with it there's now a version that you have to ... gasp horror... pay for - but for FREE RSE can't be beaten.


Oh and Microshite's RAW viewer is useful if you're on that brand of OS....

"Ker - ching!!!"


But yes, of course.....



...must consider upgrading at some time.

Olde 'Shoppe keeps it all together, so a real bonus for keeping the workflow simple.





(Well, simple-ish!)

Thanks for that. You would have thought they would have given you the software as well.

We (Cluddites and Darksiders alike) couldn't possibly comment!

If it's a PC, then have you downloaded the Microsoft addin RAW viewer. (Free download) AT least then you can view them.

Donwload a trial of PaintShopPro X, you then have 30 days to have a play with them & check that you are getting what you need from them before spending more money.

Hope that helps,
