I managed to aquire a CFV back for my Hassy V system (hurray!) but am really stuck about software. All I want is a quick cheap easy way to convert Hassy raw files to be able to use them in Photoshop without having to buy $800 bucks worth of Adobe's Creative Suite. I've got Hasselblad's Phocus software, which is like Lightroom but you don't have any output flexibility (size of print etc) ...and Lightroom is just plain frustrating and confusing to me. I don't want any features, filters, post processing gizmos, skins or any of that...just gimme a usable file in my Mac version of Photoshop that I already own (CS I think) and let me make prints! Man, do I hate this fetish that software companies have for layering on features that I don't want. In fact, I wish I didn't have to use photoshop at all and could use a cheap piece of open source software that has NO features except file translation and output...period. Anyone got any suggestions? thanks George Chicago
