Well what the heck is the name of the software?
I got the feeling you can't just upload into Lightroom?

Try Irident if you have a mac. It's good. But the sigma software (free) does a great job
Yeah but can you lift them?
Completely off topic BUT we were given Le Creuset pots when we got married in the 70s and to be honest they are too heavy and awkward.
We still have them and my wife hates the things ; hardly ever used.
The teapot we got in a sale last year for £9!
Back to the camera , I'm shooting just RAW now and doing some minimal conversions with the excellent Sigma Software.
The software takes a fairly powerful computer with lots of RAM but for me it's not too clunky.
Initially I started saving files as 16 bit tiffs and then tweaking in PhotoNinja ,LR5 and PE12.
Increasingly I've been satisfied with what the Sigma Software does and just saving out as jpegs.
I'm not finding SPP very slow, but my Mac has 16gigs of RAM, so that's maybe why. I'l try it on my windows machine which has 8gigs, and see if there's any difference.
That's interesting.
I've got 8 gb of RAM and a Quad Core processor and it runs well enough to pose no problems for me - as fast as that other processor hog PhotoNinja
On my recent Tenerife trip I used SPP5 on my netbook. It has a Pentium 987 dual core cpu and 8GB ram, and it ran surprisingly well. I'm sure a big part of the reason was that I never pressed the "full res" button, but I don't really see the need to in most cases anyway. My quad core i7 machine at home runs better of course, but it really wasn't a bother using the slower machine.
If I had 500 images the situation might have been different, but I find that the Merrills lead me to shooting more carefully, and I generally don't end up with tons of images to convert.

Just as an FYI. A while ago, sigma rumors posted a work flow for spp..
Guide to Sigma Photo Pro
At first I was a bit put off by spp, but as I got used to it, I found it to be a very good tool.. It has its quirks as all sw but it is really a pretty powerful tool. I tend to use jpgs to preview and decide what I want to use. Start separating them out into three categories.
- batch process monochrom or color
- needs individual handling
- I want to export tiff to go thru photo merge process
I usually will batch process max of 16 raw to tiff 16 files at a time under a specified profile grouped for color or b&w costum profile..
