[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 134179, member: 1283"] Nikon Capture NX2. View NX2 that ships with the camera has many editing capabilities, but the options and functions of Capture NX2 are much greater. Nikon software is the only software that fully duplicates and utilizes the many in-camera menu options, i.e. Picture Control, Auto Distortion Correction, etc. If you shoot in raw I highly recommend that you open the images first in Nikon software then transfer them to PS, LR, etc. if these are programs that you normally use. I have compared raw files processed by Nikon software versus 3rd-party products and the image quality is noticeably better using the Nikon software. Each Nikon camera uses a specific NEF file structure that Nikon does not share with other software developers. The software engineers at other companies, i.e. Adobe and Apple, are obviously quite talented, but they are incapable of fully reverse engineering each NEF file type to maximize your camera's true potential. This was probably best stated by a Nikon Pro who regularly teaches at the Nikon School: "If you need to batch process hundreds of files, then LightRoom is faster, but for maximum image quality Nikon Capture NX2 is the best choice".
