Quick question.

Are there any free products that support fz30 .RAW?

I have cs not cs 2: so no plugin
I have paintshop pro8: no joy there
I have the gimp2: nothing
Rawshooter2005....no luck.

Anyway I can get the .RAW without having to splash out again??

Im a bit peeved that only cs2 has a plugin/update.. same for psp..

Its a bit naughty to expect customers to have to keep splashing out like this, they have had a lot of my cash already..

cheers dave

Dave,

RawShooter 2005supports Adobe DNG and there's a free FZ30 RAW to DNG converter to download from Adobe.

The DNG format should make full use of the RAW files,no datalost, and the DNG files should be a more compatible format also for the future (if you listen to Adobe, that is). Haven't tried it yet... just downloaded the converter.
