Reading the release notes on the XP 32-bit version and comparing my
system to them, I can't help wondering if I'm going to encounter the
same problem you had. I figure it's worth a free download to find out,
and if it turns out to be a huge pain in the ass, I can always uninstall
it and go back to doing what I'm doing now. Fortunately, I don't have
anything resembling a "workflow" to disrupt, so I can afford to throw
the odd wrench in now and then.

I looked into RawTherapee a few years ago, when Adobe killed RSE. It
was painfully slow for most operations, but the final straw came when
I installed a new version with a bug opening PEF files, that caused
the program to crash. Pretty spectacularly, it would start to open
the file and the application would just be gone no error message no
nothing. Nothing in the error logs. I tried to go back to an earlier
version but that didn't work, the problem was in an improved dll that
Raw Therapee installed, but didn't roll back when the program was
uninstalled. Hunting that down and killing it, took most of an
afternoon. I suppose the problem has been fixed by now, but I'm
actually finding that Pentax Digital Photo Utility 4 is quite good,
not as nice as I remember RSE being, but hey it's free, sure it
doesn't have all the fancy image managment Light Room has but I've
never found myself asking where the hell did my photos go.

Quoting Walt Gilbert <[email protected]>:
Thank you, Brian!
Unfortunately, I don't have Lightroom, so I'm sort of stuck using
Picasa to warm/cool the image tones and tinker around the edges from
there with GIMP and IrfanView (with Photoshop plugins).
It would be worth checking out Raw Therapee. It's developed into a
quite powerful raw processor and is free (although the author doesn't
object to slipping him a small donation)

UF Raw can also adjust white balance.
Cheers

I thought about cropping in a little tighter on the bird shot, but
decided to err on the side of preserving as much as I could of the
original for showing to the list in order to get the right critique,
and I do agree with you. It would probably benefit from a little
more aggressive cropping. I'm going to fiddle with it a bit more to
see what I can come up with without losing too much resolution.
Thanks again!
