I was aware of the different CFL bulbs available but the number of people who put out the extra cash for them is fairly small as far as I can tell. I don’t think that many people are worried about color correctness outside of photographers, artist and actors (and the occasional vain individual who thinks the CFLs make them look washed out).
My new camera does shoot in RAW and I have been shooting RAW since I bought it. I do need to take a Photoshop course one of these days when I have the time.
I use the GIMP (image processing) and UFRAW (RAW image processing and conversion), which are free and run on both Linux and Windows. That's their upsides.
Downside is that the GIMP is still 8-bit, not 24 (32?) bit like Photo$hop, but I get excellent photos regardless. Also, the GIMP has the world's worst user interface. It's difficult to learn; I had to buy "Beginning GIMP" to learn how to do some operations.
Still, it's a powerful package.
