I’ve been playing around with this tool for a while, mainly using it to add IPTC tags to images so that Photoshop can read the entries, but recently I tried it on some 350D .CR2 RAW files, and was stunned to find that not only did it add in the tags, [...]

Digital Photo Professional: http://www.photoworkshop.com/canon/dpp/
Until tonight I hadn’t paid much attention to this application as I’d mainly been sulking at the lack of EOS 350D support in iPhoto. I’m still not sure why I looked at it again but it’s actually a very well thought out program with features that are totally complimentary to Photoshop [...]
