Ok... got a new Nikon D300 a couple of weeks ago. Mac G4 died, got a newer G5 with way better speed etc. (dual processors, cpu speed 2 ghz, 2 gigs ram, 230 gig hd

Cannot use Adobe CS2 Photoshop to process my raw files, must use the Nikon Capture NX.

DEATH BY SPOD. (spinning pizza of death) It took me 20 minutes just to get through a few raw and picture adjustments on one lousy shot in this STUPID program. What a useless piece of crap!

Looks like I'm going to have to suck up another $200.00 and get PS CS3 to process my raw files. Going broke!

Sigh... thanks for listening.

You can download a 30day trial of Adobe Lightroom.

I agree Nikon Capture sucks - spinning beach ball of death for sure!

Do you have the latest release of Capture to 1.3? I didn't realize until a couple months ago that it had been upgraded (in November!), and OMG, what a HUGE difference in performance.

Ya, I have l.3, thanks, it just came with the camera because you can't use CS2 to process your RAWs.

Thanks for the LR tip, will try the free version until I can save up "another" $200.

Hope it works with the D300.

(and I was so happy with my cs2 work flow.)
