[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 134288, member: 9521"] I'm going to have to disagree with pretty much everything you've written. These items you list that exist in NX also exist in LR but are either named differently or are a preference (like opening a monochrome image in color). I contend that PS and/or LR can do everything the NX does and do it better (more efficiently) as well as doing a ton of other things that NX cannot do. Just as I believe Adobe would make an inferior camera compared to Nikon, I do not believe Nikon can write code better than Adobe. Nikon engineers can design an awesome camera or optical lens, computer programmers they are not. Take for instance their NEF codec for Windows, it's huge and unwieldy compared to the DNG codec designed by Adobe. I think it's simply a case of expertise, Adobe is the best in their field when it comes to image software and Nikon is the best in their field (IMO) when it comes to cameras and lenses and only average when it comes to computer programming. We've all heard the idiom - "If you make a better mousetrap the world will beat a path to your door" And the fact that CaptureNX continues to lose total market share to Adobe products is a reflection of this. As for 3rd party software being unable to "resolve all 36 mp from D800 NEF files" it's a bit hard to understand and would like to know where you hear this. If anything it was a case of needing an example of a 36MP NEF file in order to write code that is compatible. As for "JPEG's looking better" is very subjective call and can be very deceiving because during the JPEG compression you can write in a variety of settings such as vibrance and saturation that would render the compressed JPEG a different "look" than what other compression software would render.. This seems like a negative to me because the whole point of shooting in RAW is to give the shooter total control over the look of an image and you would want the final JPEG to look exactly like the RAW file it came from (or as close as possible). But don't get me wrong, I fully respect your opinion of CaptureNX and don't mean to poo-poo on it, I just have a very different opinion on the differences between CaptureNX and Adobe software. But then again, I'm an admitted Adobe fan-boy. :D [/QUOTE]
