[QUOTE="Essence of Imagery, post: 3016, member: 920"] I shoot exclusively in .NEF format. No reason not to create the largest, most complete image possible. I have 48GB of CF cards, so it takes a LOT of spray and pray to fill those cards. Download to the laptop, DVD burn, then move the folder to the external hard drive. At that point, I open Aperture and import as referenced files. Usually, the only time they leave Aperture is when they're .jpg files ready to deliver/print for the client. Some I don't have to do anything to in order to complete post-production, some I need to manipulate (using Portrait Professional 9.0 Studio Edition and the Nik Software suite), usually in order to convert to black and white, or some other creative effect. As far as post-production, I see it as part of the developing (or darkroom) process - so I don't look at it as "evil", but just a part of producing (and sometimes manipulating) reality. [/QUOTE]
