Default Nikon D70 RAW + custom curves question...

I was in the process of learning about that,
when the software expired.

Ever since I just use dcraw to convert RAW to TIFF.

I am developing a piece of software that allows you to upload curves into the D70 custom curve area and am now starting to add the
support for raw NEF files. I have it loading them and converting them to JPEG, but would like to add other functionality like
embedding curves back into the NEF (similar to Curve Surgery Pro I think).

I'd appreciate any input or ideas you have.

Thanks in advance

Todd.

PS. The current software can be found at www.oxfordeye.co.uk/software.aspx

Thanks for the post Ken,

The software Ive developed allows greyscale conversion, but at the moment it
has minimal control over the greyscale image.

I will take a good look at the lost highlights/shadows feature in Photoshop
and see what I can do.

Currently I have it loading NEFs and converting them to Jpg/Tiff with the
same image quality of Nikon Capture. Still a lot to do though

I don't upload custom curves myself, but do a bit of custom processing
of the NEF for individual shots after the fact. In Adobe I like the
fact that you can see the 'lost shadows' and 'lost highlights'
super-imposed on the shot itself, unlike Nikon Capture where you have
to flip between different views.

The big thing I find Nikon Capture is missing compared to Adobe PS2,
is ability to convert to monochrome/grey-scale, with adjustable
intensity allocated to different colour bands (like the effect of
colour filters in film work).
