Some news over at Cnet for photography lovers on RAW images below. If you just want to view, organize, and print photos captured in RAW image formats from supported Canon and Nikon digital cameras, then you can also get the 5.8MB Microsoft RAW Image Thumbnailer and Viewer but only if you have genuine Microsoft Windows.
Phase One last week released an upgrade to its Capture One software for converting RAW digital-photo files into usable images. Capture One Pro 3.7.4, which gives users control of color balance, tone and contrast without altering the original file, now runs natively on both Intel-based and PowerPC Macs, as well as Windows PCs.
Phase One has also added recognition of RAW files from the Canon EOS 30D, Sony DSC-R1, Pentax *ist DL, DL2 and DS2 cameras, and all Phase One P series digital-camera backs.

What are RAW images ?
Often likened to a ‘digital negative,’ a RAW image is the native image format for a growing number of quality digital cameras. Because of the camera-specific nature of RAW files, they are not supported natively within Microsoft Windows. As a result, photographers shooting RAW have not been able to take advantage of the built-in features provided in Windows XP for viewing, organizing, and printing RAW photos.Capture One Pro 3.7.4 Photo Software for RAW Images source
