The Mystery of RAW
New Feature: "The Mystery of RAW Converters: Why you can't just use one." Different RAW converters and what you might expect from each of them. Is JPG better than RAW in certain situations? Why do sunballs look so bad after RAW conversion? Note that there is a Canon slant to the article, so you Nikon folk out there might want to get your barf-bags ready.

Wetpixel Server Status (IMPORTANT)
Hi, readers. Wetpixel has outgrown its current server, so we may be down intermittently over the next couple of weeks. I'm working on migrating to a different server, which should only take a day or two once I flip the switch. During that time, the forums may be disrupted, but it should only be a temporary problem!
Please bear with me while I fix this problem. -Eric
