Plus, Apple is usually in the last in line when it comes to new cameras - every other RAW converter is usually quicker up to date. Capture One is also okay bit the rest is more or less some kind of user interface around the algorithms and not too much thought about the whole process. Which goes as well for Lightroom if one is used to that one. So it might be valid for you to say "the best RAW converter is made by Nikon" (actually the guys of Silkypix are coding it), but I am often looking at others and still returning to Aperture because to me it's the most convenient. I don't care much about "as close as possible to what the engineers were told to do so" but I do care about as close as much to my desired result. The bets result is, what I like and what I intended to see when I was taking the photo. Alright, one could say their camera interfaces are also pretty complicated…ģ.
NIKON RAW IMAGE CONVERTER FREE SOFTWARE
Software is not only about the result, it's also about usability and workflow. Nikon is not making "their own sensors", Sony and Toshiba are - so those companies should be in charge if this logic would be valid.Ģ. My second would be RAWTherapee, as it supports the Adobe lens profiles.īecause Texaco understands their own fuel best, they are making the best cars for it…


It has all of the proprietary Nikon goodness built in, and they understand their own sensors better than anyone else.

The best RAW converter for Nikon cameras is NX-D.
