This is a somewhatof aside topic, but have you tried DxO? I use it and it is the best noise reduction and RAW processing program I have tried. It'smuch better than Light Room, CS4 or Photoshop Elements. It's about two stopps bettter than DPP but it has much better colors and dynamic range at high ISO's.


Plus it's has much more controll of your image and corrects for third partylens defects, distortion, vigeneting, CA, lens softness. The CA correction is the best that I have tried by farand also the easiest to use. It just has two sliders, one forintesity and one for the size of the CAand thats it.
