I didn't download and install the trial version first. Just bought, downloaded,
installed and entered the serial # when
it first started.

A few years ago, I compared the results of Raw conversion from 3 (I think)
different apps. Back then, there were actual
differences in rendering of fine detail at 100%, although whether they'd ever
be visible in actual displays is unlikely.
There are also differences in highlight recovery. Dpreview showed them very
clearly in their 5D review, where they
compared several aspects of JPEGs, the two apps that came with the camera,
RawShooter, ACR and Bibble Pro. They found
quite significant differences in rendering of color and of very fine detail
here.

differences in highlight recovery here.

So one thing I've started is a comparison of ACR, SageLight and AfterShot Raw
conversions. I'm not expecting big
differences, but who knows?
