 I just got my dslr and took a ton of pics this weekend, i shot in RAW because people told me that was better, the problem now is that my computer wont let me upload RAW format pics. Does anyone know of a good free program i could use for this?  and btw i have a REALLY old apple Ibook g4 laptop with osx.

+K for all help

Thanks

Well since you need a photo program anyway to edit those photos Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS4, or Aperture all can open RAW files. But your camera should of came with a CD that should enable you to covert them.

what type of DSLR? and did you buy it new? cause most come with some sort of software, unless your using a mac like i think i skimmed by and saw, Canon Digital Program that came with my 40D works well, its just simple free program but it does the job.

If you don't have a program to convert it you should not be shooting in raw. Use a school computer to convert the ones you've already taken and change it to jpeg.

iPhoto surprisingly supports raw, its dope if you have a mac and don't wanna fuck with any other programs.
