Even if you shot monchrome, the color data is still there. Other software like Photoshop or Lightroom will not show you the camera picture control changes. However, if you shoot jpg it is a done deal, no going back. FYI, with your processing software you can quickly spit out jpg from the raw file without thinking much. The Nikon software as I said will show the camera picture settings right from the start. In lightroom, you can set it up to automatically apply similar settings. There is benefit as you mention for those instant jpgs. On the other hand, its nice to always have the raw in case you messed up a great shot and need to fix it.</blockquote>
