[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 53833, member: 16"] Lightroom, of course, is very cool....and affordable. There is also Paintshop Photo Pro X3 and X4. However, I'd like to add that the newest Capture NX2 is really quite remarkable in what it can do. It shouldn't be underestimated. On the shooting in RAW. In my humble opinion, Westmill is quite correct in his explanation of what's best to shoot in. If you're a pro and making money, and your clients are super fussy about the work you put out, then yes, RAW and lots of PP are the way to go. But for the hobbyist who's sharing pics over the internet and with family....absolutely nothing wrong with shooting jpeg. Besides, what's "best" is quite subjective, isn't it. I've shot whole weddings in jpeg, and the clients were ecstatic with the results. How many people do you know that are blowing up their prints bigger than 20 x 30? Yeah...didn't think so! I know a pro portrait photographer that shoots portraits with a D40! And that's 6 MP! And while I'm at it...how many of you are actually MAKING prints from their photos? Not that many I'm betting! So don't get caught up in some of the hype about jpeg or RAW. Shoot in whatever mode makes more sense to you. After all...it's YOUR work! [/QUOTE]
