[QUOTE="NIKONIAN_DREAMWEAVER, post: 450166, member: 36003"] Hi Binky, I recommend Nikon Capture NX2. It's great with the D7100. It's powerful. It's a static release at this point, meaning it will not be upgraded in the future, but it's good software and [U]very[/U] easy to use. I like the fact that it doesn't have a separate file management database, (like lightroom) because every PC in the world has great file management capabilities (including Apple). I just don't need another file management system on top of my operating system. Nobody knows the firmware for your D7100 like Nikon does. And Nikon doesn't license out their proprietary firmware spec's, so Adobe and others are 'reverse engineering' and in my opinion, that's not ideal. I do all my work in NX2. I never need photoshop (I have it) or anything else. I shoot RAW and I can view my camera settings (in NX2) exactly as they were intended when the images were in my camera. Lightroom has some issues with this. The price has gone up (NX2). It used to be $79 at B&H. Now it's $179.
