[QUOTE="§am, post: 84630, member: 9187"] Welcome and enjoy your D5100. I shot a few pics in rAw then used ViewNX2 to convert them to jpg - didn't do much (read as any) post work on them before or after to be fair, as I'm no expert in the photoshops of this world (yet). I took a few pics this morning in RaW and jpg, and if I get a few moments later, will do another conversion of the raW files and then see what they look like compared to the in camera conversion. I think what will be interesting to see is what if any differences exist in the two conversion types, whether I can even spot them, and also, whether the differences are significant enough to make me decide RAw over jpg and do conversions on a PC, or just go straight to jpg's. Maybe when my photography skills have improved a little to lot more, I will understand the need to have raw more then jpg's to work with, but until then, I think I might just revert back to letting my camera do all the conversions for me :) [/QUOTE]
