Hi - have not had a heap of time to play with it yet....

Lucy Richardson sharpening does look good - BUT - you are working on the RAW file - so NO selective sharpening available - sharpening the entire file.

Hope to post a sample - Normal workflow VS Raw developer - just gotta get time to do it.

I have been using Raw Developer for some time. In most cases it produces more detail than ACR. That said I do not use LR3 Beta nor CS5. Workflow is a tad slower. I mainly use Lucy Richardson although sometimes I use its Hybrid sharpening.

I have just converted several Higher ISO images with no noise reduction and then used Topaz DeNoise 4.1. Very happy with the results.

I also like the fact that I can choose my colourspace as I use DCam3.
