Default Recommend a good RAW Converter

Just got by dslr a few weeks ago, and just god back from my first serious shoot with it. Now, I'm drying to get the goodness out of the raw images I've shot. I've played around with Adobe's offering in Photoshop CS2. Good control, but seems to let a little too much noise in, and my colors were very flat. Played around with RawShooter, but I was unhappy with the amount of artifacts it left behind. Toying with Bibble, and I like it, but not sure I want to drop money on it just yet.

What do you use, and why do you like it? I'm looking for PC software, and if it makes any difference, the pictures I care the most about will be motorsport photos.

ACD See? I don't remember does it have RAW converter, but it has many other cool functions that I use for my photos. I don't have DSLR, just normal digital camera that doesn't support RAW images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

If you use Mac, Adobe Lightroom, if you use Windows, then Capture One.

Currently I use a mix of RSE for rating and going through photos. Then I open them in CS2 and do the converting + editing.

Capture one it is. This is exactly the sort of results I was looking for! Thanks!
