Default 2 RAW converters in action

I have downloaded Rawshooters Essential to be able to look at the effects of converting an image from RAW using more than one converter.

Initial impressions of Rawshooter is that it is seriously fast in comparison to Nikon Capture v3. As mentioned in my previous post the manual is 72 pages long so a bit of playing is required. It has far more features than Nikon Capture v3 and appears to offer some of the features mentioned in Stephens earlier posts.

As I do not have many RAW images but I have found one that I has a range colours in a small area to show any effect on the image through RAW to JPG conversion.

NO PROCESSING OTHER THAN CONVERSION HAS TAKEN PLACE ON EITHER IMAGE.

The composite has received 15% compression to post it here.

Early days with this program but the results are way different.

Relative file sizes : Orig RAW 9.11mb Nikon Capture converted JPG 5.73mb Rawshooter converted JPG 3.46mb
