Half heard software name.

I heard two photos today talking about a RAW editor whose name sounded like Sofstone or something like, saying it was simple no frills. Does anyone know what it might be?

FastStone Viewer?

I use it. Very good for quick stuff.

As Ted suggests, it could well be Fastone Viewer they were talking about. It is first and foremost an image viewer and a very good one in my opinion. I use it all the time for viewing. And it's free too. It does have some basic editing capability which can be used for a quick tidy up of a jpeg. I wouldn't regard it as a viable raw editor though. It can open raw files from some cameras at least and once opened these can be edited. But it is slow to open a raw file and the basic raw processing works better for some cameras than others. It is not a parametric editor either, ie it doesn't save the edit adjustments as a set of parameters but rather the changes get "burnt in" to the jpeg or tiff that you save from the raw file.

Thank you for your answers. That sounds like it! Unfortunately it is not available for Mac, from what I've read.

Or, as alternatives - both free and both fairly intuitive may I suggest either RawTherapee or Lightzone ?
Both available for a Mac.
