Great shot and post processing. So what does she think of it? Thanks for sharing.

Has anyone in this thread tried Lightzone or Raw Therapee applications? I used them when i could not veiw a Canon Raw file i was playing with. They are both open source.

Well this reply is out of order. I was responding to a suggestion to use infraview.

Thanks, I use the app both 32 & 64 bit versions. I have found that if I rename the Canon & Nikon RAW file to Tiff they will open in most photo or drawing apps as well. I have used GIMP & NIK Collection for years. Just started using LR & PS in the last few months.

OK was not sure.

I am brand new to this forum so I might be jumping in at the wrong place in this thread. It sounds like you are relating the shortcomings of Canon and the RAW format they no longer provide Codecs for. I am a Nikon user but I wanted to play with some Canon pics, post processing wise. I was very suprised to NOT find a codec for their latest RAW format. However the application known as Lightzone does a fine job with them if you do not have any Adobe software.
