RAW,
Check out Pixmentec's RAWShooter:

Currently it is free (web site mentions a 'trial' but it does not appear to have a timeout) though they are definitely getting ready to release it as a commercial product.
I used it this weekend to sort through 800 pictures, and I converted about 300 of those. It's a great interface, because you can queue up conversions while you're still working, unlike other products (including Photoshop) that I've used. This makes for a seamless workflow for batch processing. As soon as you have adjusted the settings, you hit the INSERT key as a shortcut to push the current image into the batch processing queue. Then hit RIGHT ARROW to move to the next image, and start tweaking the settings.
You can also apply settings to multiple images for conversion, if they were all shot in the same light.
The settings are both flexible and intuitive. I was surprised by how quickly I got up to speed. I was also able to salvage some images that I'd given up hope on--that's a happy moment!
Unless they charge some insane price, I'll almost certainly be purchasing this when it is released commercialy.
It really sounds like a good thing to buy, thank you for sharing...

), I experimented in zoombrowser and I like it, from now on my important photos will all be Raw, so I can play with them and process them as I wish and not as my camera wants...thank you all.
