1. Alot of my photos are not level, how do you level photos in the programme?
2. Once i have made any tweeks to the picture how do i convert the .nef file?
In answer to (1) There is a straighten tool marked as a line with arrows at each end on floating toolbar F3. I haven't used it as I straighten in photoshop but it may have the same qualities such as draw a straight line then NX will automatically straighten the photo to that line.

In answer to (2) In Edit -> preferences under the general tab you can browse for the 'open with' application. Find the application and when finished editting click file -> open with and after a short while NX will convert your NEF and open your application. Please note there is no progress indicator for this so be patient on that machine. You could also save the file as JPEG to your desktop then pick it up in any application.

NX does require 1GB RAM as a minimum so a long wait for conversion may result.
