[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 268744, member: 6277"] Many of us here us NIK including me. I would not want to try to do without NIK. It is part of my workflow now and is used on every photo I edit. I start in ACR and do my basic edits and straightening if needed.

That is not needed most of the time though.
