[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 54150, member: 986"] Kevin, you really are trying top stir up a hornet's nest! :boxing: The reason I said that is that you will get different results with Capture NX2, Lightroom, Aperture and any other RAW converter because each has their own "interpretation" of the RAW image. Some folks swear by Capture NX2 because it can read the proprietary meta data that Nikon hasn't made available to the other vendors. Luckily, most of them have a good evaluation period so you can see for yourself. Personally, if I have an image with a lot of CA or [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration"]Chromatic Aberration[/URL], I'll usually start with Capture NX2. But that is extremely rare. Theoretically, Lightroom and the corresponding Photoshop version (LR3 and CS5; LR4 and CS6) should give you the same RAW conversion because they use the same "Camera Raw" engine. I don't know positively but suspect the same is true for Elements. So the question is what do mean by better, right? RAW conversion is pretty subjective. If you mean ease of use, that is another discussion. I'm not sure I helped answer your questions but may have actually created more. [/QUOTE]
