I use Photoshop Essentials, but I usually convert from RAW using RawShooter. It doesn't have all of the tools Photoshop has, but I like it's ability to batch convert, and I like the fact that it doesn't do anything to the original file by default. I still sometimes use Photoshop to tweak them afterwards, crop, etc., but I start with RawShooter. -- Rick
