The other really useful feature is the 'U' point technology and the Colour Control Points where you can change a number of parameters for similar pixels, a very good tool I find. I like the ability to change the in-camera settings you may need to change in NX2 such as the Active D-lighting, Picture Control settings etc.

My processing is fairly basic, I actually do very little at the RAW stage but do find NX2 to be very intuitive and easy to use plus it has some very useful features that are unique to Nikon RAW files which you can't do in other RAW convertors with Nikon NEF files. Catalogue then do any final tweaks of the TIFF in Elements5 Editor and save as Master TIFF. Open Elements5 Organiser and import all saved TIFFs here. Do any minor tweaks I need to WB, exposure to the RAW file then save a TIFF. View, select, delete RAW files in NX View.Р”В¬onvert RAW files to TIFF in NX2. Transfer from camera to computer with Nikon Transfer. I like NX2 very much and it is an integral part of my workflow. Same applies to my other suggestions, You might hate LR3 or Elements.

If your fairly new to this digital lark, My advise would be to use the ' Free ' Nikon ViewNX 2 ' for viewing and basic raw conversion, Then check out something like Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for further tweaking your images, Or and as well as that the very accomplished Adobe Lightroom 3 as a straight through workflow software and cataloging program.Р”В«y all means check out a trial version of Capture NX2, Or the freebie Nikon ViewNX2, While your at it the two Adobe suggestions.:D I have tried to love NX2, I have tried to overlook the odd interface, I really have.Came to it via the original NX 1 to, So I'm not completely new to the program.

I have the program installed and use it from time to time ( Windows 7 64bit Pro ) For working with Nikon ' Raw ' files NX2 and ViewNX 2 ( The free one that comes with New Nikon cameras ) are probably the best for pulling the very best out of a Nikon Raw data image.!!!

First up Nikon Capture NX2 is Windows 7 compatible, It was working fine on both the 32bit & 64bit, Recently Nikon issued some updates that confirmed a recognized compatibility with all versions of Windows 7, Though the program itself runs under the 32bit side of a 64bit system.!!!
