[QUOTE="aroy, post: 405510, member: 16090"] As others have pointed out RAW is unprocessed, while JPEG is processed by the camera. View NX supplied with camera is a basic viewer with minimal adjustment facility. If you want to have more adjustments while processing the RAW file, then just download the Capture NX-D from Nikon site. The software is free and if you do not want exotic functions, is all that you may need. NX-D is all that I use. Posterization in images ;apart from other causes; is due to limited range of colours. For 8 bit JPEG there are only 256 shades. For the 12 bit RAW there will be 4096 shades and for 14 bits 16K shades. The more the shades the smoother the colour transition. While converting RAW to JPEG, raw processing software does a better job of smoothing the colours than the camera, another reason to shoot RAW. [/QUOTE]
