Seems nice, but be aware:

It is registerware, and they already prommise foloow-up emails, though they
say the will keep your e-mail confidential...
besides, it IS a beta, so they might change the licencing with the final
release.

On the bright side:
- It can handle NEF files (Nikon compressed raw files).
- I also like the speed of the program: Zooming in, zooming out, changing
contrast, hue, sharpnes, ect is as fast as lighning, maybe faster.
- It also has a batch-convertor.

On the darkSide:
- Though i think the userinterface has a nice feeling (textured light gray)
it is not as intuitive as it should be, but neither too obnoxious.
- It is not possible to display EXIF or ISPC data. Very strange for a
RAW-photo editor.
- Totality of possiblities (adjustments) is not 'too extensive'


My Conclusion:

IF thy will not spam me to death, and IF the licens will at least reamin as
it is, or become real freeware, It could be a nice addition to my little
collection of Freeware Image editors.

Anyone know of a RAW image converter for Canon RAW files? I have one
that works under Win9x, but can't find one for Win2K.
