Ooops.
I discovered a just now that Helicon
Focus can read *ist D RAW files -- after
a fashion. After a few hesitations, when
it just stopped and had to be started
again from the beginning, it managed to
read 6 RAW files in and combine them.
The result however is far from good and
the color space was messed up. I was
unable to correct the mess (TIFF) in
Photoshop. The program took about ten
times as long as it would the same
number of 16 bit TIFF files.

When a through focus series -- of up to 50 pictures or more -- needs to
be adjusted for mid-level contrast, highlight reduction, color, or
something else before stacking, RAW shooter is very useful. One cannot
combine the files straight out of the camera, as can be done with other
file formats (which can then be fixed afterwards in Photoshop) because
neither Combine Z nor Helicon Focus (preferred) can handle RAW files. So
adjusting them before stacking becomes necessary -- Rawshooter provides
a very easy way to do this.

Usually those plug-ins make it easy to do something repetetive. If you
want the same results on many photos instead of having to do custom
changes to each one individually.

Why would you need a plug-in to adjust color and saturation in PS? The
program has many ways to do that.

I've used Digital Velvia from Fred Miranda occasionally. I can't get to
this
vendor's page.
It's pretty nice in that you have a lot of control over the
saturation level.
