[QUOTE="aroy, post: 573376, member: 16090"] I have no idea how NX2 works, but in NXD you have various methods of boosting the shadows or toning the highlights down 1. Active D Light will change the intensity response curve biased towards the low end, so that the shadow data is visible 2. Shadow Recovery will boost only the dark regions. 3. Free hand response curve for intensity transformation either for all colours at a time of for individual colors All these can be controlled and the curve used saved, so that you can apply custom curves in a batch. Selling modern bodies due to lack of software that is discontinued, is in my opinion a retrograde step. You are in a matter of saying throwing the baby with bath water. Every day a new software is introduced and the old is unsupported, so it is a fact of life that unlike yester years, you are saddled with learning new software again and again. Again, if you want to use LR or PS with the full dynamic range of the sensor, just do basic adjustments in NX-D and export the output as a 16 bit TIFF. [/QUOTE]
