[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 134440, member: 1283"] It appears that this thread had degraded into some sort of competition between NX2, PS & LR with each having their merits preferred by some. I applaud the recent comments that point out that it is up to each individual's preference and that there is no singular software that provides the right solution for every user. I will make a couple of final observations: Yes, it is possible to in many cases [U]manually[/U] fix sensor dust spot issues with LR on a single image then save those adjustments and apply them in a batch to other images. My point of contention was that one post proclaimed that Adobe software can do everything that Nikon software can do and do it more efficiently. [U]Manually[/U] repairing a single image and then applying those same repairs to multiple images with possibly varying success dependent upon those areas that have been repaired having very similar image data surrounding the repaired area(s) as the first repaired image hardly seems as efficient as the [U]Auto[/U] Dust Off feature in NX2, which because it maps the spots from a plain white background is independent of subject matter. First, the photog you reference is not a friend, and I never stated such. I was present at the transaction involving the return of the D800 and heard her explanation of the issue first-hand. I also have additional knowledge that she subsequently did further research on the issue and it was confirmed that the "soft" issue was mentioned by others who were attempting to open NEF D800 files in non-Nikon software. When the sames files were opened in NX2, owners reported that the images were everything they would expect from a 36MP camera. Not being able to open NEF files, or opening them at a reduced resolution (in the case of the first ACR update intended to function with the D800) is not a subjective matter at all. It either works, or it does not. With every new Nikon DSLR it often takes weeks, or even months, before 3rd-party software applications are able to open (correctly) the corresponding new NEF files. Updates to View and Capture NX2 are available for free download the day a new model ships. I never implied that Adobe was "stuck" not being able to open D800 raw files. The reduced resolution issue that was present on the first ACR update after the D800 release was resolved over time, and I noted so. [/QUOTE]
