• Simple AND functional

  comptrguru7/25/2012

  Pros

  In spite of one review here, it works nicely with Nikon's .nef files. I tried it on several, including ones created with a D80.

  Cons

  Could use 'spot' editing like the Big Boys. What the heck, it's FREE!!!

• This is the best RAW editor I have found.

  johnisart1/25/2010

  Pros

  IT IS EASY TO USE AND FREE. PHOTOS COME OUT LOOKING GREAT. I have had a lot of noise in the past but no more.

  Cons

  I have an older computer so RAW SHOOTER works slow. It also sometimes crashes , but it is so much better than anything I have found it is worth using.

  Summary

  This is the only one I use now. Get it, heck, it's FREE.

  Pros

  best raw-editing software ever

  Cons

  none I can think of

  Summary

  I still use it and very sorry that will have to switch to Lightroom (?) with the upgrade of my 20D. Just a perfect tool. Many thanks to all Pixmantec people for having created this for us!

• Brilliant and innovative when new!

  Roz25061/5/2009

  Pros

  This is a travesty - Adobe bought this product, then dropped it - Corel and Adobe habitually buy up good products and kill them off (Word Perfect?) - is it a competition thing? Andy Rouse co-created this programme and it's brilliant! Reintroduce!

  Cons

  Adobe's non development in favour of LIghtroom - this was ahead of the game until Adobe bought it out. It's a shameful waste of a good resource.

  Summary

  It has great ease of use for beginners newly entering into the realms of RAW processing. I run a camera club and use it to demonstrate the benefits of RAW imaging against JPEG. All my members now shoot in RAW thanks to this user friendly program.

• Will not recognize Canon 450D RAW files

  ozdonat3110/30/2008

  Pros

  Old versions OK with earlier camera RAW

  Cons

  Will not self register as stated

  Summary

  The old Rawshooter on earlier Canon RAW was good, but despite the encouraging comments about new camera formats, it won't recognize the Canon 459D RAW format.
