Some processed Africa Pictures

The biggest disadvantage to shooting RAW with a digital camera is the inevitable post-processing that you have to do once you get back.  However, the results are stunning, far better than just having the camera do all the work for you.  Here are the first 11 pictures that I've done.  A big advantage to RAW is when I go to blow this thing up to 30"+, it'll be super sharp.  Click on any picture to view the full size on Picasa.

They look great John! I have mine set to shoot in raw and .jpg. I can post-edit any I want to.
I need to pick up a few tips from you on how to make them look stunning though!

Thanks, Gillen folk. Pat, just pick up the DPP software that came with your camera and you should have 90% set right there.
