    so i have a bridge camera (panasonic lumix) coz i mostly shoot film,

    but i would like to start shooting in RAW with the digital to allow myself more post processing control (at present i don't process my digital pics coz i like to rely on getting it right first time!!)

    anyway i searched the FAQ's and didnt see the answer i was after so sorry if this has been discussed to death already.

    is there a free downloadable programme for for a mac to allow post processing of raw format? or would i need to buy a programme to get the best outcome for this?

    thanks.

    Will.

    There are a few options:
    - first, check if a RAW converter came with the camera
    - I think Google's Picasa has a Mac version which will process most RAW files
    - Photoshop Elements will do it, cheapish but not free and frankly I find it a dog to use
    - Apple's Aperture is a first-rate Raw converter, equivalent to Lightroom in most ways, and is available at a discount price through the Mac App Store (I think it was about €60). This is easily the best value option but not free

    Hope that helps!
