RAW is a digital negative and you can choose your developer. Mine is Bibble.
I do nothing in the camerasoft (sharpening, noise,...) and most is done in Bibble (with NoiseNinja included) untill I need masks. Then I switch to PS (16bit) and do what has to be done to make it look like I want it to.
Finally, if  needed for the web, I open a copy, eliminate colorspace , adjust colours by visual comparison and save as a jpeg.

There are no Borg. All resistance is fertile.
