[QUOTE="westmill, post: 53822, member: 9330"] Firstly I highly recommend Capture NX. You may even find one second hand. Its fantastic and comes with a good instruction manual. Its great for RAW or JPG and cost far less than my CS4. There is totally nothing wrong with shooting JPGs, despite what anyone tells you. You can set up jpgs just as you like them in camera. You can increase sharpness etc in camera. If you find they are often low in contrast, then simply turn it up in camera etc. You taylor it to your needs. Today's modern sensors produce great JPGs. There are benefits to shooting raw of course, but its not necessary for a lot of people. There are a number of benefits to shooting in JPG. Higher frame rate, Smaller files, Less work,Auto lens corrections in camera for lateral CAs and curvature, any in camera filters etc etc etc. You can get a higher dynamic range in Raw and slightly finer detailed prints. Raw is better if you are after perfection. Even when you shoot RAW, in the end you need to convert to JPG. Its just that you then have a perfect JPG. amongst other things. [/QUOTE]
