What program is best for editing RAW photographs From my Canon EOS 1000d Rebel xs?

Please help thank you, ive had this camera for months now and still have no been able to edit in raw. Thank you

obviously i mean to edit them with a program for the computer

i have always preferred the image quality of the nikons — the d50, d80, etc. i was given a canon digital rebel eos xti as a gift, though, and i’m wondering if i can change the settings (sharpness, color profile, etc) to have the appearance of images taken with a nikon. this might be completely impossible.

Quality in Photography: How to Take, Process, and Print Excellent Photographs

Product Description
This book unveils probably the last and definitely the finest, unpublished piece of the jigsaw making up the now immortal image of Marilyn Monroe—photos taken by famous photographer Milton Greene who was Marilyn’s artistic advisor, agent, and business partner from 1954 to 1957. It was Greene who, by clever maneuvering, freed Marilyn from the shackles of her contract with Twentieth Century Fox and together with her founded the independent production company “Marilyn Monroe Productions, Inc.,” which produced the superb Marilyn Monroe films Bus Stop and The Prince and the Showgirl. The relationship between Marilyn and Milton was always a difficult, but highly fruitful one. It broke down in 1957, when Marilyn’s husband Arthur Miller began to take care of her business affairs. Our book, first published in 1994, offers a rich selection of this photographic treasure. Marilyn Monroe never looked as erotic, as elegant, and as stunningly beautiful as she … More >>

Milton’s Marilyn: The Photographs Of Milton H. Greene

Product Description
Shipping out to China in December 1947 with three ten-year-old German cameras and a plum assignment from Life magazine, Jack Birns was fulfilling a boyhood dream. The reality was something else: refugees and prostitutes, soldiers and beggars, street executions and urban protests photographed in difficult and often dangerous circumstances amidst the poverty, corruption, and chaos of an expanding civil war. By then the ruling Nationalist Party had been battling the Communist threat for more than two decades, and Birns focused his camera on the human drama unfolding as war pressed ever closer to the country’s financial, cultural, and commercial capital. His effort to show China’s misery up close ran afoul of Time-Life publisher Henry R. Luce’s fervent anti-communism, and for half a century many of these historic photographs lay unpublished in Time-Life’s archives. Printed here for the first time, they offer a graphic vision of a great city, Shanghai, poised o… More >>

Creating World-Class Photography: How Any Photographer Can Create Technically Flawless Photographs

Product Description
First Photographs is an extraordinary view into the origins of photography. This landmark monograph – the only book on Talbot to be authored by the Fox Talbot museum’s curator – includes many never-before-published images of landscapes, architectural studies, and portraits from Talbot’s personal archive and selections from his detailed research notebooks made during the 1830s and 1840s and currently housed at Lacock Abbey in Chippenham, England. A gentleman and an intellectual, Talbot was a great student of the Arts and Sciences and kept detailed notes of his activities and experiments. He discovered the negative/positive paper process which made multiple reproductions of a single image possible, and which distinguished it from its contemporary, the one-of-a-kind daguerreotype. Talbot first announced his invention to the public in 1839 in his paper “An Account Of The Art of Photogenic Drawing Or The Process By Which Natural Objects May Be Made To Delin… More >>
