RAW question

From: tony cooper on 23 Jun 2008 11:16 I have a Nikon D40 that is capable of shooting RAW as a .NEF file, but I don't have Capture NX. I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0, but I don't have any interest in upgrading to CS. PS7.0 does everything that I need to do with this exception. Before I pop for Capture NX, I'd like to be sure that there's something to be gained. So many people rave about processing in RAW, but I've never seen a before and after that shows something that can't be done in PS7. Anyone have some examples of a .jpg processed as a .jpg, and the same shot adjusted in Capture NX and then saved as a .jpg? -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

Can't help you on that - but you may get NX cheaply now as an upgraded version is coming. True in the UK anyway.

There's a free raw converter here: http://www.rawtherapee.com/ which supports the D40. It might be worth a look. Cheers, David
