Attatched is a grahic ( NX 1 ) showing the options available in NX depending on file format.

A series of stitched screen grabs show the options in LCH and Levels ( NX 2 ). I thought I would show this as both of these are quite different and more controllable than in CS.

Too much to go into here but other than Control Points are :

Available options for ALL file types includes - USER SELECTED AREA ADJUSTMENTS - Curves, LCH, Contrast/brightness, Saturation/warmth, Colour balance, Colour booster, Noise reduction, Sharpness and blurr. ........ probably missed something out. :)

I will post info in the NX thread when I have time.

RSE doesn't need intuition: it has sliders that have titles such as 'Exposure Compensation' and 'Shadow Contrast'. Anyone who can read can use RSE straight away. It saves as JPEG and TIFF.

Just in case someone is interested, I picked up a brand new shrink wrapped copy of PS CS2 for £250 from FleaBay. IMO it is well worth it. It has some advantages such as nice integration with noise reduction tools, a better sharpening algorithm, and so on.

I was really cheesed off that Nikon charged so much to upgrade from NC4 to NX (originally £50) and now you have to pay the full whack. However, it is currently free with some Nikon cameras.

Why use inferior tools when Capture NX and Photoshop are available? If cost is the problem then go for Photoshop Elements 5 with the updated RAW file (v4.1). It does all you need and more!

Interesting that I seem to be the only Aperture user. I presume that is because I use a Mac. Among its many features, Aperture works with RAW images natively throughout the application. There is no intermediate conversion process and the application uses a nondestructive image-processing engine, which leaves the original image untouched. (I cribbed that off a web-site!) It is a fantastic product that has some very powerful tools.
The highlight/lowlight tool particularly is way-ahead of any other I have tried, including CS3. It can perform excellent B/W conversions and tints as well.

Couldn't agree more.
