What raw converter do you use for Canon?

I use DPP, think it does a good job. I did do the 30 day trial of Lightroom, and found that if a photo isn't too screwed up coming out of the camera, I can do must of what I want just using DPP.

I jumped into shooting Raw with my Canon DSLRs back in '06 when Adobe Camera Raw was "leading the way... and then, at the time, the subject of "Digital Asset Management" (DAM) had become, well "hot" for those of us who needed a way of managing a growing quantity of photos... when Lightroom came out I jumped on the Beta, and then as it went through the early troubleshooting I committed to Lightoom as my image processing "grand central", since it both incorporates the excellent Adobe Camera Raw processor but then integrates a suite of great DAM capabilities.

Well, that's been my story since, gosh, '07, it's worked for me!!!

Hey, that' like exactly my story too!

(Except I used Rawshooter Essentials before-in conjuction with- LR beta until Adobe bought them and incorporated some technologies (like vibrance) into it. IIRC vibrance was key to my decision to buy LR when first released.

Initially Canon DPP, now whatever is in Elements.

We need a poll...

For the record, I use the raw converter in Photoshop CS6...

Lightroom 5 and Capture One. I'm starting to use Capture One more and more.

For the cropped sensors I use DPP v3.x, for the FF camera 6d I use the newer DPP v4.0 which is tweaked for the newer FF sensors. I use DPP because Canons native lens adjustments in them are superior to LR/PS Camera RAW. I am certain that some will argue that, but that is my experience, I own PS CS and use it for special tweaking that can't be done well in DPP.

Lightroom 5 for me.

I used to use Lightroom (bought 4 at release which was a disaster until 4.4... and unfortunately paid for the 5.4 upgrade which was again bad and improved a bit with 5.5....), Adobe's software quality is bad... So I now bought Capture One Pro 7.2.3.

Initial impressions:
- better colours
- shaper RAW renders
- better distortion correction tool (you can input the angles yourself in a very friendly way or let the software do it)
- GPU acceleration (which I conclude Adobe is either too lazy or stupid to implement based on the comment I read on the topic... - they claim it has no benefit when image processing is something GPUs are great at...)
- Not tested yet, but Capture One Pro can do CMYK and RGB softproofing according to the specsheet, again lazy Adobe only gives you RGB in Lightroom because they want you to cough up for Photoshop...
- preview rendering makes sense in Capture One Pro: It will render previes for ALL images in the current view pane. (so go an have some coffee)
Whoever designed Lightroom must have thought misery is the best option... it renders what you see only, scroll a bit and you get to enjoy constant laggyness and then suddenly it renders some extras... its a mess...

Capture One Pro seems to be coming along quite nicely and quickly:
