The other day I realized I still had Nikon Capture NX 2 installed on my old photo editing PC. Seemed to remember it working better for me on a lot of the RAW shots out of the D300 over what I could pull off with my meager Photoshop skills. For fun last night I played with some of the old images using just Capture NX 2. .I honestly don't remember my old process with this software as it's been years since I used it. All shots below captured vs my old manual focus Nikon 800/5.6 on a D300.
