Yes, it is true that when shooting RAW you can save lots of time if you can use software that mimics the results you could have obtained had you shot JPEG, and Capture NX2 can do that very well in its Camera Settings Panel. Yes, if you don’t have other software that can do this, then you’ll depend heavily on Capture NX2 as it is critically important to have a RAW file processor in your digital workflow. Truth be told, you probably could, but at what cost? I’ll get to that later, but first lets look at what is cool about Capture NX2: In fact, the average Joe could easily argue that you only need Capture NX2 to save yourself the expense of owning Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. I’ll admit, Capture NX2 is cool! There’s some great stuff included in the box and the value seems too good to be true. I am reviewing Capture NX2 and using Lightroom 2.5 as the baseline for comparison purposes. NOTE: This is not a review of Adobe Lightroom 2. I decided to take time to see if Capture NX2 is more of the magic that seems to make the Nik Software products so great, or if it was merely the bastard step-child that is plagued with the problems that you typically see in software from hardware manufacturers. Nikon’s Capture NX2 is a product made using technology licensed under contract by my favorite add-in vendor Nik Software.
