hi guys .. have a quick question, when i take raw images with high iso like 1600-5000 iso, images have too much noise etc. (naturaly) but when i take raw images they turn out much much much muuuuuuch better. (probably because of no compression). but i cant seem to open the raw image files except acdsee viewer. (which only lets me view file). i cant cut any part of the picture etc. what do you guys use to edit raw files ?

one option i have is save the file as jpeg then edit the file and save it one more time but then wont i lose some quality ??? cant i just edit it as it is then save it with a program ?


great now i found out i cant even do that because when i try to save it as jpg it says its 16bits per channel and version of acdsee i have supports only 8bit per channel bla bla bla if i continue and save the file back to square 1. image quality gets horrible.. quality difference between raw and jpg is HUGE especially with very high iso's 1600,3200 and 5000
