RAW Workflow Applications

[328iGuy]

I was just wanting to know what everyone else is using for their Post Processing applications and any recommendations people may have.

What I am currently using is:

Photoshop CS w/ Adobe Camera Raw Plugin
IMatch Image Management

Any recommendations for adding something else?

Thanks

We have a dedicated following for a number of RAW conversion apps including;
Adobe ACR,
Capture 1
BreezeBrowser,

and the latest and arguably greatest,. "Rawshooter essentials"
Among others..

Most then use PSCS for the final touches... there is a solid argument for the bundled or very affordable Elements3, whcih also now includes the ACR plugin.
I see less and less mention of Jasc's Paintshop pro.

It seems all roads lead to Photoshop in the end..


Personally,. I have dropped Capture 1 from my workflow,. it had been my standard.
I still fing room and uses for Breezebroser.. I think it is a tool that everyone can use even if it is not your main RAW converting tool,.

But the new "rawshooter" has my favorite workflow. And the results are fantastic!

Up until November I was using PS's ACR, but when I upgraded cameras I needed something until Adobe came out with upgrade to ACR, So I used Canon's DPP 1.5 to convert and with 1.6 version it seems to take care of 95% of my needs (which is WB, Crop, and fix blimishes), the other 5% end up in PS CS.
Takes a lot less effort for me and I have ben getting better results, so I am sticking with it for now.
