Fuji Finepix: Free and easy CCD RAW Converter for Mac

Posted in Technology on February 5th, 2010 by admin – 1 Comment

Looking for a simple CCD RAW converter for your Fuji Finepix Camera? Well, if like me you think the Fuji RAW Converter is the worst piece of software known to man then don’t despair.

I have a Fuji s9100/s9600 and want to shoot in RAW but to try and convert Fuji’s CCD RAW to TIFF or JPEG easily was near damn impossible until I stumbled, after a long web search, across a small, simple and free little program called Rawker.

Seems to work a treat with CCD RAW conversion to a 16 bit TIFF taking seconds. Give Rawker a go, it’s avaliable at http://raifra.fh-friedberg.de/Mac/index-en.html

And for person/persons behind Rawker RAW converter..Thank you!

BBC Breakfast News

A lack lustre, dower, miserable way to start your day.

Who on earth is responsible for the format of BBC Breakfast News? It must be someone who is devoid of personality and lacks a will to live. Do they have a history of depression?

There is plenty of choice in terms of what type of programme you want to watch or listen to in the mornings. On a wet, dull February morning I want to be informed, with plenty of varied content and a bit of lighthearted humour thrown in for good measure.
