i use a Prog called Irfanview to crop and resize all my pics...

It will open and save in raw format, but to open you need to type in its demensions when it asks otherwise it will garble it....

its worked for me so it might help yah out

Irfanview Home Page

Download Irfanview

The disadvantage is you can't open these image files with a normal photo package without using an "acquire module" (a plugin, typically TWAIN, which can open / process such images).

Good luck.

Also, if you have Photoshop, you can download a plugin that will allow you to open them there.

mountainmain,
are there any cheaper (eg free) options? photoshop ought to have it built in, consdering its rank among imaging packages.
