If you have an older version of PS, and do not wish to fork over for the upgrade, the low cost way to do it is to download FastStone Viewer (is supports virtually every RAW format including the DNG format for the Leica DM-R, and SilkyPix... a superb RAW to .tif/.jpg converter which runs with a very useful feature set, forever, for free. Download FastStone at http://www.faststone.org/ Download SilkyPix at http://www.isl.co.jp/SILKYPIX/english/ I've used this pair with both the Canon 20D and the Leica DM-R, and find them fast and effective. BTW: Silkypix is one of the best RAW converters out there. I had it recommended to me, and I've never gone back to PS, except for 'tweaks' afterwards! Cheers! -- David Young, Logan Lake, BC CANADA.
