[QUOTE="westmill, post: 54617, member: 9330"] If you use Capture NX2, you can pretty much do that. I prefer to set just a little sharpning in camera and sharpen with unsharp mask in NX2 for best results. There is not much chance of seeing any differance other than at 100% pixel peeping. Even then its only a small margin. If you were faced with realy awkward lighting conditions, such as on the beach on a bright contrasty day it would perhaps be wise to shoot raw. You can get more detail out of both highlight and shadow areas in RAW. Having said that, more often than not I like high contrast pics anyway lol and you can always add D lighting if nesercary in capture NX. It works realy well. One other bit of advice I would give for JPG shooters, is make a copy of your originals and keep them safe and edit the copy file.:) [/QUOTE]
