. . . .and the X3F format changing with each new model, it is small wonder that so few converter providers have anything to do Sigma's products.

I actually bought the DP1s and DP2s thinking they would be no different to the SD14 (same sensor, right?). Ha, how naïve can one get?!!

So I went out today and shot a couple of DP1s X3Fs.

Having just downloaded PhotoScape I thought that it might open them but . . . . wrong again (yes I know they only list SD9, 10, 14). Good enough, I go, so off to FastStone Viewer for a quick peek. Ha! After conversion, here we see a washed-out image that is unusable - meaning that DP1 and 2s X3F files are not even supported by DCraw.

Unbelievable.

What saga? Why not just use SPP, or better yet, Lightroom? I don't understand what it is you are constantly searching for. Lightroom would be a perfect solution for your Sigma.
