Steinmueller from outbackphoto.com is running a competition where you
can try to do your best with a Nikon D1 NEF and a Canon EOS-D30 CRW. "The
contest has two goals: Provide sample NEF and CRW files for all users
to play with and get into the RAW experience Share with other users how
to make the best out your raw files. As said raw files are diamonds in
the rough. They have great potential but one has to work for it and know
the tools (I am still learning myself).
