@Marie: Thank you so much!!!
I'm happy to tell you about the software I use. It is interesting that you ask now, as I'm in transition from one to another. Up till recently, I've used Raw Shooter Essentials to convert my RAW files (I shoot excludively in RAW, as it is so foriving), and did editing in Photoshop 7.
Unfortunately, Raw Shooter was sold and it does not accept files from my new camera, Nikon D300. For the past several weeks I've been experiementing with various trial software downloads. I recently settled on Photoshop Elements 7. The price is right (under $100) (I cannot upgrade to CS4 from PS7) and it seems to do all I want. For now, I'm just doing basic RAW adjustments and conversion (to TIFF) in Elements 7 (trial version), and the doing my usual editing in PS7. Once I get the new software and a book to tell me how to use it, I may do more work in Elements.
I don't do much in post processing. When working with RAW files, I may adjust the highlights, exposure, darkness, and fill light. In PS7, I mostly do: levels, contrast, saturation, selective color, crop, clone, burn, dodge, sharpen.
As you see, I'm not a big post-processing person. However, I am learning some neat tricks to make an image look better from the BirdPhotographers site I mentioned in my emal.
I'm happy to answer any questions!
