Until recently mac computers have also made computer use painless, tho since OS 10.2 a policy of convergence with MS and/or catering for illiterate iPoders or something has steadily taken it downhill.
I would not even consider DPP as a image editor Chris. It is however, a very good RAW converter. I would have thought that most people who use it would also use something like CS2 for the image editing. The sharperning, Noise reduction and shadows/highlights recovery is basic to say the least.
I personally use DPP to Crop and tweak the exposure before exporting to CS2 where the real editing begins.
If you have been using DPP as your main editor I can understand why you were dissapointed.
