Dangerous bends

I took the plunge today and switched my Panasonic Lx3 camera to capture raw data before leaving the house this morning. Had no idea if I could process the pictures on my Ubuntu laptop but I did it anyway. And I'm glad I did it! Came across a cross-platform tool, called RawTherapee, which understands Panasonic's raw format and plays nice with Ubuntu. Below is the final result of this experiment, look at the amount of detail in the shadows! One thing is for sure, I won't be switching back to JPEG at least for a while...
