rawstudio
rawstudio will convert your raw files into jpeg, png or tif images. it has a graphical user interface, so you can simply open a raw file and experiment with the controls to see how they effect the image.
the normal workflow would be that you first convert your raw files and then use an image editing application to further work on your images. rawstudio itself is a highly specialized application for processing raw images, not a fully featured image editing application.

I like the controls and being in control of where files land up. No 'library' that clunks around. Good performance even on my old machine. GUI and controls are intuitive to a photographer, unlike too many other such apps. Night photography images showed major rectangular areas - darktable did better, but it could just be me working in a hurry. Sadly, not worked on in 4 years+ and project page is now offline(2015). Dang, I liked it, now I must learn a new tool.
It is quick and easy to use, but the noise reduction is terrible. The patchy, cross hatched thing in the shadows is unusable and the noise is difficult to remove in GIMP if you opt to do it then. An ap is only as good as the results it produces.
It wont work with raw extentrion from sony, with jpeg I don't have any problems with this program.
Сравнивал с UFRaw RAWTherapee. В RAWStudio наиболее интуитивно понятный интерфейс. Для тех, кто только начинает работать с RAW (таких как я), порог вхождения самый низкий, самое то! Возможно и профессионалам тоже понравится.
