A question about RAW

[vix]

Probably been asked before.

I shot in RAW at the weekend but I don't have anything to open the files in. Do I need special software and where can I find it?

Ta!

You'll need Photoshop, Lightroom or iPhoto to use RAW.

Aaah, I think we have PS somewhere :) Ta!

I did that at Donny Park ages ago, had nothing to open it with, and forgot about the pics until a year later :D

Fortunately I shot some normal pics too otherwise I'd be rather annoyed!

GIMP will work too with a plug in which is easily obtainable and its free.

Personally, I still prefer to use RAWShooter Essentials to manage my RAW files but that was bought out and 'turned into' Photoshop Lightroom, so it probably won't support newer cameras.

How about opensource dcraw, heard a bit about it, never used it (i can't yet shoot raw :D) sounded good though :)
