I've no interest in trying to match the look of Nikon's JPEGs - if I'm editing raw, it's because I want to change the JPEG look anyway. ![]() If you're going to save money, GIMP has a free raw converter based on dcraw. I'm mostly outputting 16-bit TIFF and then editing in Photoshop, though. For the past few years, I've mostly been with ACR and various versions of Photoshop, but I have recently paid to upgrade DxO - I had an old version that I used to prove that its LoCA reduction tool couldn't cope with the amount of LoCA on my 135 f/2 DC, and the upgrade was because of the noise reduction abilities they introduced recently. (I think I've also never installed a mouse driver.) I went with Capture One a long time ago for me Eos 300D, before taking the plunge on Adobe - but that was partly motivated by wanting to produce a magazine and flatly refusing to go through the pain of trying to do it in Word (and I'd tried LaTeX) buying Creative Suite at the time was effectively InDesign at full price, Photoshop at half price, and everything else thrown in free. I've never installed any camera maker's own software. However, I prefer NX2 raw conversions so I use it for intial steps of post-processing. I don't see Adobe software a trap, I find it very good, and the current pricing makes it easier to keep the software up to date. I think it's clearly quite far from release and I would hope NX2 to still get support for some new camera generations until NX-D can genuinely supplant it.Īs for control points, they're nice for some things but these things can be done in Photoshop, if you have enough time (quite a lot of time actually -)), so I don't consider their loss all that important to me personally. ![]() just as they added some important WB options (the ability to see the K and G/M tint values of an image captured with camera auto white-balance on) NX2 these do not yet exist in the NX-D. Also there are a lot of things missing from the early NX-D prototype software e.g. This works now only with some adjustments, not all. I think one thing that is important that Nikon allow NX2 edited NEF files to be read correctly into NX-D.
