I did not get the Raw Software CD's when I bought my RD-1 - in trying to download them from the Epson website they come in as aspx. files and I cannot open them. Is this lack on knowledge on my part, am I doing something wrong or am I having a senior moment and missing the obvious?
Any help appreciated,
TIA

Fantastic - thank you for the link - now installed. I had been on Epson.co.uk - doesn't always pay to "shop" locally, I guess. I'll let you know how I get on.

It certainly can be the place to start - BUT - I see that the software is available from Rich Cutler's resource site so that better become home from now on.
Thanks Rich!!

One word on Raw software processing:
LIGHTROOM
---best $100 I ever spent (I was on the Beta team-first time I ever participated in one)
Lightroom is the only think keeping me from running back to film.

I use Capture One LE. I think it was $80 or so.
It works great with the RD-1.

Have Capture One too, and it feels 100 years old compared to Lightroom!

Hiya,
Glad you got the ASP/aspx thing sorted... yes, Lightroom is nice, but expects P/CS for image tweaks, so the small "investment" ties you another app, and more cost.
OK, so that's a given--you already have Adobe P/CS--then, you might also have a look at LightZone and Bibble too. Although a JAVA-based app, LightZone has one of the more interesting(and photog intuitive) setups, especially if you've got some wet lab experience.
rgds,
Dave

Picasa is my preferred program. Even supports many raw formats. Simple, intuitive, almost always gets it right with default, single-click settings. They even offered to support R-D1 raw files, if I would send them a few. Haven't had a chance to yet. Silly me!

UFRAW on Linux, though Lightzone is also free for that OS. With an Olympus E-300, not the R-D1.

I have converted R-D1 raw images using Epson PhotoRAW, Adobe Camera Raw CS3, Bibble, Capture One 3.7 LE and Capture One 4 Beta. For me, the best results with the least amount of intervention has been Capture One 4 Beta. You can download and give it a try for free.
I would try several raw converters and decide for yourself the one that best matches your needs and personal tastes.
