Framed & Exposed: A First Look at the Nikon Capture NX Beta

First looks at the beta are out and people are saying good things about software from Nikon! Could this be my rawworkflow workhorse? Cheaper than Aperture and I can run it on my machine!

"Previous versions of Nikon Capture were aimed primarily at higher end users who used it as a Raw converter (before passing the results on to Photoshop). Nikon NX is targeted at photographers of all skill levels -- from point-and-shooters to professional SLR users. No matter what brand of camera you shoot with, or whether you shoot Raw or JPEG (or even shoot film and scan into TIFF format), Nikon is hoping you'll use Capture NX for your editing. Unlike previous versions, the new program provides a complete non-destructive editing environment and boasts a simple, powerful editing interface unlike anything found in any other image editor."
