Hello everyone -
I just received my D200 -- which will be my first DSLR.
I have questions about what software to use for which part of my workflow.
When using a digital point-and-shoot w/my Mac, I never installed any drivers or other software. I would just hook the camera up to the Mac and let iPhoto launch and import my photos.
Now, if I want to shoot RAW (or should I shoot RAW + JPEG?), should I just do the same thing and let iPhoto import my photos or should I install the Nikon software that came with the camera? It came with a disc for PictureProject and a trial of Capture NX.
Additionally, will iPhoto let me do edits on RAW images or should I really download the trial versions of Aperture, Lightroom, and/or Photoshop CS3 and give those a go?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
