Heh! An interesting "data point" -- jpeg shooters won't feel left out!

Lightroom3, DPP, C1Pro, Leaf Capture, sometimes ACR5.7, depending on what images I'm editing and for what purpose.

This poll was intended specifically for RAW shooters.

Yeah, I gathered that!

I have never figured out DPP and have little incentive to since I own PS CS5.1 with ACR.

I never even looked at DPP until maybe a year or so ago (I don't recall how long ago) when they finally added horizon straightening to the Trimming crop tool.

By then I knew that a lot of people here were getting some good use from DPP and I figured I'd jump in and at least learn a bit about it just so I could have informed discussions with people and help people who are getting started in the Raw workflow. And it has helped in all that!

And, it's a pretty cool app for quick, painless conversions with shots that would have turned out as good out-of-camera jpegs!

It's already too much for my feeble brain to deal with PS and ACR, I'd have to unlearn something like "how to tie my shoes" or "how to breathe" in order to learn DPP.

I have been a long time DPP user but I must admit I have been exploring CS5 quite a bit in the last few weeks. One advantage is I can use the ColorChecker Passport. I used to hate ACR but they have come a long way.

Mostly DxO Optics pro - the modules work great, really like the results, and I'm used to the workflow. It is a bit slow, though, and for some shots Lightroom is the better choice. I'm gravitating towards a combined workflow - Lightroom for some of the fiddly editing/processing/cat​aloging features, but optimizing the RAW image (to TIFF for print, JPG for web) in DxO first, then importing.
