Paint Shop Pro And RAW files

[CoolToolGuy]

So now that I have PSP8, what should I get to process RAW files? I have a G3 and a Digital Rebel. I haven't shot any RAW images yet, but they are bound to happen soon.
Thanks in advance.
Have Fun

Use the software that came with your camera (Canon File Viewer Utility) to convert your RAW files to TIFF or JPEG.

PSP does not support Canon RAW files directly.

I'd recommend you look at BreezeBrowser, which will convert both G3 and 300D raw files:

www.breezesys.com

But for the DRebel, my top recommendation is C1 Rebel:

Currently, on special introductory offer with a 2-week free trial.

Actually, there's a freeware image viewer that's been around for ages 'Irfanview'..and there is a plug-in that will decode the Canon RAW files. Spread the word and bless that person who made the plug-in..!!
