I don't even know how I could possibly save my edits over the original
RAW file in the first place, so I actually find this little RSE (and
Silkypix too) file otiose and an annoyance, as it generates folders
all over my HD. Bah humbug.
Viewer is reasonable insofar as it creates either a TIF or JPG when it
processes. I suppose there must be a setting that allows you to
destroy your original RAW file, but I haven't found it. (I ain't
looking either.) I wish it offered to save exif data with 16-bit
files. Is that against the laws of physics or something?
