I agree that Picasa is a great tool, specially for snaps when you don't want to spend too much time processing (also you can very easily upload pictures to their web site).
However, regarding Raw conversion and unless you only want to produce small prints, IMO there is a significant advantage of Rawshooter Essentials over Picasa. I converted the same ISO 800 image using both softwares at their default settings and the Picasa output looked clearly more grainy than the RS one. (and Picasa don't have many options regarding raw conversion) Regards, Jaume ----- Mensaje original ---- De: David Savage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> Enviado: jueves, 12 de julio, 2007 19:07:58 Asunto: Re: Raw file format? Maybe consider giving Picasa a try. It's simple to use & free.
