Sad news regarding John Walter – RIP

Do not like the new look, it doesn’t make me want to keep coming back. I guess there may be a lot of people who will take one look & not bother to return without making any comment? :stupid:

Not so much a good photo – but more of a cracking display, probably one of THE BEST that I have seen this year by Trevor Roche @ Old Warden ….

Well, if you’ve got a Canon DSLR (or G10 / G11) & you shoot in RAW you can always use Canon “DPP” which is supplied. I have to say that I find this an excellent program!

Personally I would keep all of my RAW files “as-shot” as the RAW file contains ALL of the information that was captured during the exposure. I would be a bit careful as (& I’m guessing here) anything you do to your RAW files will result in something somewhere changing. So I guess that providing you keep the original RAW files you’ll have nothing to lose. Doing it this way gives me the option to go back & re-process any image that I’ve shot safe in the knowledge that all of the info is still there.

I’d be interested to know what camera you’re using? I use Canon 5D 40D 400D (& still have all of their RAW files backed up on an external HD) I tend not to use PS as I try to shoot right first time & therefore only tend to use Canon DPP (which I think is excellent!)
