Just Tried Rpp For Mac
RPP is still my choice for Mac raw converter. I cold help but try it and I like this new version, Thanks Bob. But I'm using a Mac now just for running RPP.

Steve, I have used Color Efex extensively. Generally, I found that it is best to pull back on saturation on files that you sent through the Film Effects filter, especially for the Kodachrome effect. Also, the Kodachrome effect exaggerates reds and yellows. While I had some interesting results, it is a very different tool than RPP, which, of course is a raw processor.
As stated in the original posting, I find RPP unique because it 'developed' files with greater resolution, apparently owing to its use of floating point calculations, and has better color rendition than other raw developers I have tried, which include Aperture, ACR, Irident, Lightzone (now defunct, Silkypix and Capture One. —Mitch/Chiang Mai.

IE is still a workable option for Web surfing, and despite the fact that its functionality diminishes every time a new security measure is enabled on websites, it retains a loyal cult following among Mac users. Download ie10 for mac.

—Mitch/Chiang Mai Yes, the success of the film presets does depend on a pretty neutral image as the starting point. Otherwise all sorts of odd things can happen. As I tend to use both Silver Efex and Color Efex a lot I don't try to generate anything special during RAW processing, a neutral or low saturation and low contrast image has all the tonal information and offers more scope for further post processing.

SteveSteve, I also use Silver Efex for B&W, but generally find the results better doing the raw conversion in RPP: better resolution and much lighter adjustments in Silver Efex, just some burning and dodging — and often I don't use any of the film presets. Often, but not always, I end up with a better look than using Aperture as the raw developer. For B&W, I haven't yet figured out how to judge whether I'll get better results using RPP; for color most of the time the RPP-developed file will look better.

I'm gonna give RPP another chance.You would do well to keep in mind that the learning curve is steep and that the way of working with RPP is different, and that you may initially be discouraged. In the last month, I tried it initially and was discouraged.

Eventually, I concluded that optimum exposure for digital is not the same as for film. I used to think that it was necessary to expose digital for the highlights, like transparency film; but eventually figured out that this was try only for high contrast situations, when, there is no headroom to expose to the right.
I don't want to start the ETTR argument here, but only would like to mention that it does give me better gradation than I was getting before. Essentially, in exposing to the right you want to get the best possible file, without worrying how the file looks when you open: in a 'standard' raw developer, i.e.

I only mention ETTR here because it is a useful method to keep in mind when you use RPP, about which you can read in the RPP documentation. —Mitch/Chiang Mai.
