Okay, since I'm just getting back into photography - let alone all the digital post stuff - , I need some things explained.
I recently got CS2 and I have Nikon Capture 4.4.
Then in reading some of the threads on here, there's Adobe Camera Raw as well.
Then there's also a plug-in for CS2 RAW (NEF) files?
Yikes...
What's more advisable to do or use?
I know it's all personal and relative, but I'd like to keep things relatively simple.
My current so called workflow is this...
Open a RAW image in Nikon Capture, adjust EV, contract, curves, color/colour (for us Canadians , image size and whatever else needs tweaking.
I will then save it as a jpeg (and a new RAW file renamed).
I'll then go to CS2 and do final touch ups there if needed.
Can I just use CS2 by itself, or Adobe Camera Raw (which I still don't understand, is it just a plug-in or an entirely different program on its own)?
I ask because I wonder if using CS2 alone would be better and/or better than using capture?
Thanks, sorry if it's long and/or repetitive, tried my best to search for something like this.
