[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 134309, member: 9240"] What Dave said. As for Monochrome, if you're shooting RAW you're only previewing in Monochrome - swap to the black and white side in Lightroom/Camera RAW. It's right there. Monochrome and the other filters are meant for JPEG application and Adobe allows you to choose any of them - including the ones you didn't use. Auto-D Lighting? Again it's meant for jpeg application, not RAW file. If you shoot in RAW then Adobe gives you full control over lighting profiles and I'd imagine you could find a preset that would do something similar for you - but if you're shooting RAW and not JPEG then worrying about D-Lighting presets is being insanely anal. Dust removal? OK, that one I'll give you. As for whether or not anyone picks up CaptureNX now that Nik has left it behind, that remains to be seen. It will be interesting since the control points that make the software so powerful are a Nik patent, and I suspect that future versions may not have them, or there'll be a nice price to cover the licensing. I'm not saying that it isn't good software, and that it doesn't play well with Nikon. It works extremely well and produces great images. I'm just saying that I'd be incredibly hesitant to plop money down on it right now, particularly when there are other tools that do [I]almost[/I] everything CaptureNX2 does and then some. [/QUOTE]
