[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 269881, member: 9240"] Saw on N-Photo that Nikon is replacing Capture NX-2 with an NX-D version that will be free. Capture was a far more powerful RAW editor than ViewNX but came at a price. So the fact that it's free is awesome, because you can't beat that. Unfortunately, likely due to Google now owning the U-point (Control Point) technology that made Capture something special, Nikon was likely required to pay to license the technology if they wanted to keep using it, so the new version will not have control points. :( That said, hey, it's free, right? The Beta version is now available for download. While I doubt I will find myself using it, I'll be grabbing it just to see what's what. If you're looking for a RAW editor, I suggest at least checking this out.
