[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 423141, member: 12496"] There is a newer version now. The Nikon Capture NX2 Raw software was developed by Nik Software, but that company was bought by Google (offering Nik Collection now, which are Photoshop plugins). Google will not be supporting Nikon's version. But Nikon has a [URL="http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Imaging-Software/Capture-NX-D.html"]replacement NX-D version[/URL] available, as yet no charge. Nikon also offers their simpler [URL="http://www.nikon.com/news/2010/0817_viewnx2_03.htm"]ViewNX2 Raw software[/URL]. This ViewNX version is free. But a novice not prepared for raw probably should be shooting JPG, until they are ready. Raw is intended to be processed, and it does not gain anything by just doing a straight unthinking conversion. JPG already does that much. [/QUOTE]
