can set the individual parameters and
picture properties yourself. To do this you
need the supplied Adobe Photoshop

Elements
®
4 (Win) / 3 (Mac), as well as the
newest Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) plug-in,
which you can download from

them at high quality. During editing you can

highest picture quality.
