Re: Silkypix Raw File Converter settings

You're right about the differences between RFC2 and SilkyPix 7 but, the advantage to buying SilkyPix, now version 8, not 7. is that you can work on any RAW file or Jpeg and they do have free updates that add new cameras. RFC2 will only open RAFs or jpegs from Fuji cameras. If you only have Fuji RAFs, than RFC2 is probably all you need but, if you have multiple brands or RAW files from other brand cameras, you need to buy SilkyPix if you want to use it. Besides Fuji, I have RAW files from Olympus, Panasonic, and Nikon. I bought SilkyPix DS 7 Pro  to eliminate using four different RAW converters, even though each one was free. The best one was Olympus OV3 but like RFC2, it only works on Olympus photos. Even though Panasonic also bundles SilkyPix with their cameras, that version, which is also based on SilkyPix 4, like RFC2, will not load anything except Panasonic files.

When all else fails, maybe it's time to read the manual.
