I personally like software that does not need to be "installed" ... SW that you can just copy onto a

memory-stick and run from there. If it needs an installation, I install, then copy, then uninstall.

It should still run.

 

I still use old Rawshooter-Essentials ... it originally needed to be installed,

but with a small trick, the installation can be copied onto a stick and can be run from there.

 

I also use RawTherapee (for the same reasons) for a few images which RSE does not

handle properly.

 

Same applies for Gimp and for IrfanView.

 

With these 4 I can do most of what I need.

 

But I also have Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop-Elements (5).

In the long run, I will likely use Lightroom as the main Raw-Converter ...

it is a direct successor of old RSE (which I like), unfortunately, it has all this

image-library-stuff combined to it, which I don't need, and which I would

prefer not to have. PSE5 is just for some special functions (as Gimp).

 

Along with the Fuji x100, I use SilkyPix (in the version that comes with the

camera). When I move to Lightroom (which will happen when my old

EOS 5D fails) I will also use Lightroom for the x100 images ... and thereby get

rid of SilkyPix.
