I just got PSP X3 and have been trying the RAW Lab-hee's my impressions:
It works really work with very easy to use adjustments and compared to X2 where the RAW file opened without being able make adjustments to the RAW file before opening it , the adjustments in X3 on offer are fine for most RAW processing needs .
I like how you can apply the ame adjustments to multiple RAW files.
The interface for it is great-the adjustments is in one window and not in multiple tabs in the one window like Adobe's Camera RAW does.
It is quite fast processing the RAW files from my Fuji FinePix E550.

RAW Lab
As it stands right now the RAW Lab is fine for editing pics that are well within good exposure tolerances to begin with.
Unfortunately, if the file is underexposed, X3 applies a arbitrary brightening to the file as it opens and most of the time highlights are blown out without being able to recover them which makes the RAW Lab about useless from that point on.
I had hoped that Corel would have developed a better solution for RAW images by now but so far it is very disappionting.
We all hope they will continue to work on a solution to better RAW developing.
Hear that Corel?
Since RAW developing is specific to each camera and manufacturer (proprietary),and they are usually kept as confidential and it must be hard for third parties to develop algorithims that will work well.
Every program that does RAW developing results in a slightly different rendition
and some are better than others.
