(I question whether or not I'm any longer a real photographer, so maybe that explains why. :-) ) I use Capture NX to convert NEFs and to do some pretty basic and simple adjustments. In some ways I use it like darkroom tools, which I also still use. I use NX control points to burn and dodge areas. I raise or lower contrast here or there. About the only thing I do that I can't do in a darkroom is use D-lighting. I work with software all day long. Photography is my escape from that. I use photo software out of necessity, not because I enjoy it. I try and get a photograph right in the camera and I make prints. That workflow doesn't ask much of PC applications. I prefer things that way. DaveR
