Hi Lisa,

Here are some links to sites comparing C1 output to various other solutions.
They are seeing pretty much what I'm seeing. Note these sites were linked from
the C1 Help files (Addendums > Useful Web Links > RAW converter comparisons) so
obviously not an unbiased source, but here they are. If someone has links
showing the opposite (that the Canon converter or CS does better) I'd like to
see them too, but I haven't come across any links showing that.

'conclusions' page at ...

text in the left column)

Be sure to set up the color management page (Workflow > Show Color Management
Settings) and assign your monitor ICM profile at the bottom of this dialog box,
since C1 is color managed.

If you want to see a small crop from one of my files I'll send you part of an
Canon 1Ds owl shot showing eye detail and showing the out of focus background
with both C1 and CS. That conversion was enough to convince me, but you should
be able to see it in your 10D files too. I recently convinced a friend on the
r.p.technique.nature NG to try C1 LE with her 10D and this is what she wrote
back ... "I tried it on a couple of shots, and I was AMAZED at how much better
the
conversion was than ZoomBrowser. I have decided to get the LE version at the
next paycheck."

But not when the new things are pricey add-on RAW software, required
because your DSLR manufacturer is totally incompetent when it comes to
digital.

FWIW .. I'm now using the C1 Rebel program with my Canon 300D. Having been
previously using the free bundled Canon software which came with the 300D.
There is IMO no comparison, the C1 (Rebel in my case) software is just miles
better. So good it has reinstated my support of the RAW file, I was about to
just ditch RAW in favour of jpg. Not now as with the C1 software one can
instantly see the benefits of RAW.
