Wow. That is a very useful tip. I was just playing with that, it looks like it could save a fair amount of work.

Some good photography there, but they do look a bit flat at my monitor too. Just converting without adjusting does not make sense. You are not using the potential of raw shooting. At first I struggled a lot with this myself. (In fact, I still do, but my skills have improved). RSE has a neat feature that will get you going pretty fast. You can simply use the Alt + E keys, and viola, RSE suggests adjustments based on some kind of picture analysing. The suggestions are not perfect, but in many cases they are ok. And in most cases it will give you a rough idea on what to do. After a bit of fine tuning it usually ends up pretty good. Off course, the best thing is to do it all by yourself, but why not get a bit of help? It sure speeds things up.
