Interesting observation, my wife and I were at the book store a few minutes ago and looking through the current Lenswork magazine every one of the featured photographers shot digital for their aret images and only one used any film at all. Every one did their printing on an Epson printer. The cameras used ranged from a Sony R1 and Canon 10D to a Mamiya 120 camera with a 22mp Leaf Aptus back. I can't remember what the other shot but it was digital. the fellow shooting the Aptus also shot some 4x5 and 6x12 film but also shot the digital.

Stupid question, no doubt, but how do I find the RAW converter in Elements 5.0?

Super easy. Just open any RAW file from the Editor or Organizer.
It's not a batch RAW processor tho.

I use Photoshop CS2 and with the full version you can create an action and link it to a droplet on the desktop. All you have to do is direct the finished conversion to a folder and drag the raw to the droplet icon and it will carry out the rew conversion action and place the final images in the desired folder. You might check out actions and droplets and see if Elements does this. It quite easy. I don't know what camera you're using but the canon fee software will batch and resize.

I have the Canon DPP, but I like Elements & CaptureOne LE better for simple conversions.
But when I have a ton of conversions to do, I'll still go back to DPP.

About the only time i use DPP is with the capture software module to shoot direct to the computer. The raw conversions are fine but I like the flexability of CS2 much better. Capture One is fine but I still like CS2 for the lens correction tools and a few other features. overall I like the conversion in CS2 better with Phase one C1 second.

Thanks. I'm guessing from what you said that I must have originally taken the photograph with the camera in RAW mode, in which case I'll have to read the camera manual to see if it has a RAW mode capability. I've always used JPEG on the highest quality setting.
(Camera is a Pentax istDS DSLR).

Under the "REC" menu, it's the "Quality" setting. "***" is for JPEG fine, and "RAW" is raw. See pg 98/99 in the manual.

That may be the difference: this is my hobby, not my job. As my actual job does entail me sitting in front of a computer all day, I'm loathe to do the same when I come home.
