Hi I have only recently started shooting in raw (and jpeg fine). I came highly recommended to me to use raw as i was told my shots would be much greater and the colour ranges fantastic etc. I have only found that my fine JPEG files are great, but the raw files do not seem so great. The colours are mostly ugly and they are usually very grainy.... I was advised to try using different programs, but this does not seem to help at all. I have a mac and have used Lightroom, CS2 and Iphoto (the program that comes with the mac) My camera is Nikon D80. If anyone can help it would be great!! I am feeling soooo frusterated!!! Thanks!!!
