[QUOTE="aroy, post: 528221, member: 16090"] The answer to the title is YES. You do not need PS or LR do process RAW. Use Nikon Capture NX-D which is free. I use it extensively. The reason to shoot RAW is . You have more DR - 12/14 bits against 8 bits of JPG format. So you can recover quite a bit of shadow and highlight, rarely feasible with jpeg. . You need not bother about White Balance. You adjust it in PP. . You can do NR (Noise reduction), DC (Distortion control) and PC (Picture control) away from camera. That saves a lot of processing time and speeds up the camera. In most cases when you enable these functions the burst sped reduces a couple of frames/sec. . On the whole you can control a lot more of the outcome with RAW than with jpeg. [/QUOTE]
