Thanks in Advance,

Hi Frank and welcome,
As you have a D50 your best option is to try Nikons own converter Nikon Capture. You can download a 30 day trial from Nikon USA link here

Item on line 7 or 8 depending on your operating system.
[ Quote I'm new to photography and have a ton of questions, hope your a patient group. To start I just purchased a Nikon D50 with two lenses 17 to 55mm and 70 to 300 mm. I also bought a Sigma 50 to500mm telephoto lens and a 2x doubler (?). ]
In these circumstances I feel your best bet is to shoot in JPG Fine until you get used to the camera and your image editing software. Processing of RAW images adds another step in the learning curve, and at this stage I would concentrate on learning what you can get out of the camera first.
You will find Members here will be very helpful so post as many questions as you like.
