    It's good! I've only used it for one batch of images so far. But it's very usable. I didn't need photoshop for saturation, local contrast and sharpening. The only thing I'm really missing is cropping.

    Yes...
    ...and it works just fine on my WIN XP system.

    I hope Corel will release a plugin version for PhotoPaint. Certainly would make editing less tedious.

    I've used it and like it, especially the speed. The only problem I have is that the quality of the converted files is not yet as good as Nikon Capture. I would settle for less speed if I could get improved quality.

    Nikon Capture, is still my usual RAW software. I also use ACR from time to time and have beta tested RawMagick. RM is best for quality, but it has reached the point where a Crey Supercomputer is needed to run it.

    The Corel software (which is actually RawShooter Essentials from Pixmantic) shows lots of promise however, and I'm looking forward to the next version.

    Petteri Sulonen did a very nice review of it on the Canon D30/D60/10D/20D forum of dpreview!
