[QUOTE="svsig, post: 839868, member: 99240"] Hi. I have quite recently purchased a Nikon D300, and I am still trying to figure out things. I have been using Ubuntu with GIMP so far, but now I am considering a Mac for image processing. I wonder if anyone knows if Aperture uses Nikon's codec for processing RAW images. I have tried Nikon's own Capture NX2, and I wasn't very impressed, I found the interface almost appalling. The people at the store where I bought my camera said that Nikon will not release their RAW codec, so other program manufacturers will have to guess about it. I have tried several free alternatives, with what I consider to be more or less disastrous results. The best one so far has been an add-on to GIMP, but the contrast is too high and the details are not good. Using JPEG gave much better results. I have read a bit about Aperture, and this program seems interesting, both aesthetically and functionally. Does Aperture also guess about the Nikon RAW codec, and in that case, does it guess well?
