Seth, Capture One came in the box with your M8.2. You can upgrade for free
to the latest version too. There is a paid pro version as well.
It is an excellent Raw convertor and held to extract the best from M8 Raw
files (DNG's). My personal preference is for Adobe Camera Raw that comes
with Photoshop. Many shooters here especially higher volume shooters really
like Lightroom, which shares its engine with ACR.
