Default Paint Shop Pro and Canon Raw.
Hi,

After using photoshop to import raw photographs at work. I realised that Paint Shop Pro is severly lacking. It does open the photgraphs but no really option on how.

Is there a raw importer plugin I could use cause I'm afraid Photoshop is way outta my price range right at the moment.

Wes

Have you considered using Photoshop Elements 8? It uses the same RAW converter that Photoshop does, just has less tools.

Which version of Paint Shop Pro are you using?

just a thought...

I've used both Paint shop pro and Adobe Photoshop. From what I can tell happens is the Paint shop Pro opens the raw file at 72 ppi and Adobe opens a raw in camera raw which defaults to opening the image at 240 ppi and also defaults to applying 25% sharping.


This could be the difference you are seeing. Open up an raw image in photoshop and resize the photo to 240ppi and apply the same sharping 25% radius 1.0 detail 25 and see how they compare.

Elements 8 is about 1/8th the price of Photoshop CS4.

Elements 8 = $77

Photoshop CS4 = $682

It's an even better bargain if you compare it to Photoshop CS4 Extended ($932).
