Software for the D200
I have a new D200 and was wondering if I should stay with the Nikon software or use something like Photoshop. BTW, how is this new camera going to compare to the D200? |

Most people would expect that someone who buys a D200 would be a highly experienced photographer who would know the answer to that question. But then, you might just be a rich beginner who has evidently gotten in way over his head. In that case, get Photoshop and a couple of "Tips and Tricks" books to go with it. Nikon Capture NX is not a substitute for Photoshop and PictureProject is worth every penny you paid for it (which is nothing). BTW, how is this new camera going to compare to the D200? Until the camera is actually announced, no one knows. Be happy with the D200. The new camera will probably fall somewhere between the D200 and the D70s in Nikon's lineup. So, cheaper, in some ways maybe even better, but without all the features or durability of the D200. |

message m... I have a new D200 and was wondering if I should stay with the Nikon software or use something like Photoshop. BTW, how is this new camera going to compare to the D200? I understand that the D200 comes bundled with PictureProject which I have tried out and did not like at all. You might like to try Nikon View which is a free download from Nikon's website, which includes a thumbnail viewer, browser and Editor (called "Nikon Editor"). Nikon Editor is similar to Nikon Capture but with some advanced features removed, but it still does a good job of converting a NEF to a TIF, which can then be opened in another application for further editing. I use Irfanview for resizing and for conversion to a jpeg, but if I wanted to do more advanced editing I'd probably load the tif into Gimp. |

Software for the D200
What are you using the Photoshop for ?
Photoshop is a full featured photo (art) EDITING software whilst Nikon already have Capture 4.4 [and NX soon] as a photo developer software. IF you only want to snap your pictures, tweak them a bit and send it off to a printing shop, Nikon Capture is your tool. If you want to artistically retouch your photo , Adobe Photoshop is the way to go. For start, you can try the Nikon Picture Project as 70% of the time , I only need to use the Picture Project to retouch my photos and send the retouched photos to my designer for final artwork.

Download the trial of Adobe Lightroom and give it a try... Excellent RAW
convert + file/project manager etc. Capture 4.4 or NX are both excellent RAW converters too. PS has a steep learning curve - try PS Elements or Paintshop Pro. What do you want this software to do exactly? Guy "Shmaryahu b. Chanoch " wrote in message m...

Whatever works best for you is what you should use. Do you own Photoshop? If not, try the software Nikon provides. You can decide for yourself if that software does everything you need or if you need to invest in Photoshop or somme other photo editing software. |

I'm also waiting to see what the new camera offers - if the sensor is the same as the 200, I will be overjoyed. As for processing software. I've been using Elements for several year and just bought 4 (Mac). It's more than adequate for my needs. Once in a while I think it would be nice to have CS, but cost benefit analysis and adjusting to a retirement income keep me with Elements. The next question after processing is printing. The D200 would be a huge waste of money with anything less than an Epson 2200. Just MO and I'm sure Canon has something just as good now. I haven't been in the market for a printer for some time. My 1280 is more than I need for the images produced by an E-20. |

Software for the D200
What an Ass. I am not rich and bought one last week, His question is a good and simple one. What software are you using ? I would get a few books, teh Nikon Digital Field Guide by David Busch and the Magic Lantern Guides are good and have a list in the back about what software is good.
