Is the bungle software any good?

Which would be the best all round photo editing software and image browser.

Elements or ACDSEE

Or is there a better one. Thanks everyone.

This would probably best be in the Post Processing and Printing forum since it applies to more than just the EOS line of cameras...

but of those 2 choices, I'd say Elements would be your best bet, because it has much more powerful editing capabilities.
If your computer can handle it, I'd also suggest Photoshop CS2, as it has Adobe Bridge, which acts as a stand-alone file browser. I actually personally prefer the browser that was built into Photoshop CS for the simple fact that it wasn't so resource-intensive, but the new version does have quite a nice new set of features.

You might also consider irfanview for an image viewer

Irfanview (free), XNview (free) or elements - not ACDsee.

Depending on your budget, you can also use your Elements software that came from your Canon camera and upgrade to CS2 at half the price. Here is the link.

Hi,

Dont know anything about RAW so Im wondering if the software that comes with the 350D is any good or should I get something better.

If its not good can someone tell me the features it lacks so I can evaluate what I am missing - Thanks

It might still come with an OEM version of PSE 2, but you'll want to get PSE 3

ACDSee is my choice for viewing/sharing photos, it had the lowest learning curve for me. I tend to stay away from complicated software (anything made by Adobe falls in this category) and I have found Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 to be the easist editor to use and gives me the best results.
Yes neither one of these is free, but that was not listed as a requirement.
