Ah yes DigiKam the only decent free raw converter, I've tried, then I couldn't delete the tiff files from my Windows computer.

So DikiKam still needs some work.

Corel's raw extraction program, Aftershot ne Bibble, runs on Mac, Linux too.

Yep, I missed that.

Indeed I've learnt that I was wrong about Nikon's ViewNX2. Yes it is good at extracting Nikon raws. Though right, "not brilliant".

Not that you'd know this necessarily, but FedEx Office is what used to be called Kinko's Copy, not a great place to get subtle printing done ever. It was fine for say b+w copies, or even...

So great a good free raw converter with...
