Originally posted by Matjazz I don't think that soft JPEGs are a result of AA filter. If so how come RAWs are sharp?! They wouldn't be if AA filter was in the way.
I found RSE to be a good start with raw conversion but latter I found that it has very poor color rendition and separation meaning that images always had that green glow which I could never get rid of entirely and some colors were rendered as one while in reality and on images developed with Photolab or Capture One the difference was noticeable.
I'd recommend SilkyPix or maybe Capture One or Lightroom.
I second all your views fully. Whilst the RSE has an excellent interface and extremely smooth batch processing, I found the colours to be strange too, when I used it to process RAW files of my *ist DS which is supposed to be fully supported and the RSE has a profile of the model.
As for RAW converted jpeg and in-camera jpeg, the difference is *huge*. Still, the jpegs of the DS, even it is RAW converted, is still not as sharp as those from the K100D. So, afterall, the AA filter strongness does count.
