Nikon P500 does not have a RAW capability. However Capture NX 2 can also edit JPEG files. Some functions may not be available though.

Randy,

Thanks for your comment and the great tip. More tutorials (and likely a book) will be coming. ;-)

I am a long-time NX user, but only recently discovered the utility of the D-Lighting feature. However, I have found that depending upon the amount of D-Lighting applied, this process can cause color shifts. For example, this can occur when trying to recover shadow details in pictures involving skin tones, as application of D-Lighting can sometimes result in a reddish cast. Accordingly, I often add an additional "color balance" step to take this into account. Just a thought.

By the way, thanks for preparing and posting your tutorials. I shoot in NEF format exclusively, and find NX to be the best editor for Nikon raw files. Unfortunately, there are number of techniques and treatments that I had to leave for Photoshop (after converting to a TIF) because I simply wasn't proficient enough or knowledgeable enough about NX to perform these edits. Your site is helping to change that.

Pete,

Thanks for the comment. I would not want to work for Nikon though. That would limit what I can say on my blog. ;-)

Really useful stuff - perhaps you can get Nikon to hire you to re-write the manual?
