HI everyone

I have decided on advice and other threads on this fantastic site to start shooting all my photos in RAW format

I have been browsing through some Better Photography Oz version, and have found a program called "Capture One" and this article got me thinking (always dangerous!)

I wondered if i need any specific software to process these RAW images?

Have just purchased and waiting for Photoshop 8 Elements software to arrive - is this program sufficient and does the same sort of work that this Capture One or similar software do?

Any suggestions for those on a budget for RAW software if PS8 isnt suitable??

Apologies for my lack of knowledge on this one - hopefully someone can help

Previously i have not done any post processing on my images apart from crop etc and reading some of the great items posted on the Forums i have learnt so much in the last few days, and i really want to do my 40D and associated new toys justice

Cheers and thanks!

Kellie
