Just to clarify that: the similarity is in the file saving, otherwise 
saving to RAW still saves more info, right?

It's just, I haven't got Gimp to do RAW yet (but I will, now you've 
pointed out the plugin below). I won't bother if there's no difference 
in the file quality.

I'm sure I read there is a professional version of The Gimp which 
provides more bits. I don't know how that compares price-wise with 
Photoshop.

Those pics are very nice, Jan :-)
