Hurray! Be advised, though, that the E-3 is reported to have less
recoverable highlights than some other DSLRs. Shooting to the right, by
using negative EV compensation in many cases, will still be needed in
many cases.

If you are going to try out RawTherapee, you might as well download
V2.4, as it has some improvements. RT is in many ways quite capable.
However, as you have found, it is slow to complete processing and
display changes, so it can be quite frustrating to use. Without a fast,
processor and lots of memory, it is probably stone slow. Adobe ACR, as
in PS, Lightroom and, I believe, recent versions of Photoshop Elements,
is much faster to use.
I've not carefully followed the threads, but recall that some E-thingie
users have issues with ACR color rendering. Have you tried the software
that came with the camera?
