Hi all, long time didn't post here, well too busy to send camera to repairs and now too busy to get it back.....
I haven't been following photography news lately.
A friend of mine needs an easy to use RAW converter, not an advanced one with all the possible sharpening algoythms etc a basic one, with exposure and white balance correction and curves manipulation, any free software you can recommend ?

Hi toni,
which camera does your friend use?
Most manufacturers put some sort of free converter onto
the CD that comes with the camera (you will remember DPP
from the time you were using a Canon).
So, besides the free rawtherapee there might be another
option when looking on the CD.

Hi Toni,
Long time no see. If they are using a Mac, I suggest iPhoto if the camera is supported. Ok, no curves in there, but then I think curves is more advanced than sharpening. If they have a Mac, iPhoto comes with it. Downside of the apple solution is, that apple can be slow with respect to supporting the latest cameras. Many people are still waiting for Fuji X10 support (lets get some orbs).
