[QUOTE="aroy, post: 583012, member: 16090"] OK, I will elaborate slightly Software like Photoshop were designed for graphics artists and concentrated more on the "Image" part. You could play around with the image, selectively edit parts of the image and apply special effects. It has evolved tremendously to incorporate RAW input files, but its forte is image manipulation. NX-D does not do any graphics oriented edits. Some of the functions are . Adjusts the brightness levels and contrast . Transforms from 12/14 bits of RAW to 8 bits of jpeg. The transformation are either linear or nonlinear. You can use presets which will boost the shadows or tone down the highlights. In case you really want to you can generate a custom transformation curve (for all the colours or each one individually) . Applies lens geometric corrections . Customises White Balance . Applies Noise reduction NX-D does not have layer concept, so you cannot carry out any edits on selective region, nor does it have advanced image manipulation capabilities that Photoshop has. In my case I am not interested in all the additional features that Photoshop has over NX-D, and there are a lot of photographers like me who shoot RAW just to get the best out of the sensor and are not interested in manipulating and polishing their images [/QUOTE]
