RAW converter for FUJI S2

[GreenDiverDown]

I've been playing around with a Fuji S2 and would like to shoot in RAW. I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 but the RAW converter plug in is no longer available... (does anyone have it?) I was wondering if anyone could suggest a solution.

Why do you want to shoot in RAW? What are you looking to do with your images?

Other than upgrading to PSCS2 (which I recommend - it has some great features) you can download s7raw here : http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-PaloAlto/9919/s7raw.html

You can download Rawshooter essentials (from Pixmantec) free, and then after you've done the very easy slider bar adjustments in Rawshooter, you can convert them to .tiff or .jpeg in whatever resolution you want and continue working on PS7.

Andy, I am playing around with s7raw. Thanks... I wouldn't have found that one without your help.

Larry, I found Rawshooter but it does not support Fuji.

I have found a few others... anyone have any comments on these...

Have you tried Fuji's converter? It may be available on the website. I was using it but am now using the converter in PS CS2. Once you go RAW, you'll never go back. Just don't rely on it to bail you out of big exposure problems. USE THE HISTOGRAM!

I have not been able to get that one but I hear that it's pretty lame.

Here's the best I've found... no doubt a great RAW converter no matter what you shoot with...

... view with Irfanview, convert with dcraw and open the *.psd in Photoshop.

Really cool site - I've bookmarked it for future reference .
