[QUOTE="NIKONIAN_DREAMWEAVER, post: 465628, member: 36003"] Well, I'm not sure that Active D-lighting (ADL) is pretty much a jpg feature. Capture NX2 doesn't allow that feature at all with jpg; only RAW/NEF. It also doesn't allow 'Picture Control' with jpg. These adjustment options don't even appear when you work on jpg's. And I'm not sure exactly what Fred was trying to say up earlier in this thread, either. It didn't sound accurate... I find that Nikon did a good job with the auto ADL. I always get good pictures, with good lighting; but many times, I find that I can add 'sunshine' to a photo and make it look better for my particular purpose, which the camera doesn't know about. So, I don't blame the camera's auto settings. They're really good, from my point-of-view...A good solid starting point. A lot of times I leave the ADL settings exactly as the camera chose them.
