Picasa's RAW sup****t, like most of their image editing, is a good
package deal which is often all you need, but lacks the sophisticated
capabilities of Irfanview's RAW sup****t. I only use RAW when the
photographic conditions demand a higher dynamic range or more complex
colour balancing than the camera can easily handle on its own, and
when I do, much of the time Picasa's simple RAW editing is all that's
required to get the extra reach.
