my view...

If you shoot raw then download this and try it you will not be disappointed, I go along with the claim that it produces the best quality output on the market today. The other two main players are capture one who seem to be behind in the development of their product in not being quick enough to add support to new cameras. The other is Bibble which is an excellent package but Rawshooter is free and if you didn't shoot raw before you have got no excuse not to now.

The product is endorsed by Andy Rouse and he may have had an input in its development, the workflow is extremely fast and once you get the hang of it you can develop your files at fantastic speed. They are continuously developing this product this is the third update in just over a month, they will be bringing out a paid version of the software with even more time saving tools. I for one will be buying it.
