I use Adobe Camera Raw exclusively. I tried Rawshooter Premium 2006 and was not convinced that it did anything that Adobe's software doesn't already do.

I now use RSP and am slowly learning its ways and getting into the workflow. It seems a very good tool. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

I've found that the only controls I use are WB, exposure and the two NR sliders. When I first started with raw files, I appreciated the power that C1 and RSE offered, but now since I do so little in raw conversion, using ACR streamlines the process. At any rate, since version 3, ACR has offered everything the competition has anyway. The tools are there if I need it. In my opinion the contrast, saturation, curves, brightness, shadows, and sharpening in all raw software lack the fine tuning capabilities and subtlety I can get in CS2 after the conversion. For contrast, advanced sharpening techniques work better. For saturation, nothing beats using curves in Lab color mode. Selective/creative type sharpening using layers and masks seems a lot less destructive and more effective to get a tack sharp image. There was a thread a while ago that had side by sides of four different converters that clearly showed that RSE produced the least "affected" image using default settings. I'd say there is a strong argument for using that program if you aren't sure of what you want or what you're doing or how to do it. You can get a lot done, with top notch results using any of the raw converters out there. As far as staring down the barrel of processing three to four hundred images in a few hours, I can't do it any faster with anything else other than CS2.
