Now about RAW conversion software.
First of all i got to tell you i support open source tools and I'm not willing to pay 300 euros for Lightroom, no matter how powerful it looks. So i was looking for something simple and similar to RawShooter, the software i was using before D700, but free.
Searching the net I found an open source application similar to RawShooter, that i like a lot. RawTherapee. I tried it and i think it does a very good job. The problem is that current version 2.4 does not support D700's NEF files. But don't worry there is a solution to this. I also found a free NEF to DNG converter from Adobe. With this tool I can convert D700's NEF files to DNG and then process them using RawTherapee. The advantage of this process is that after the conversion, i have my negative files in two different formats. And that means more compatibility and portability. So until i get my hands on the next version of RawTherapee i decided to include these two tools in my work flow and save myself 300 euros.
More on DNG format you can find here.
