...am I the Only one who is using Capture NX-D ?...really..?..
I think Photoshop (Ps) is popular among many because it's pretty consistent and in such universal use. To learn all the software out there, in depth is more than most people can bear.
Now with Lightroom sharing Camera Raw with Ps to some extent it reinforces the compulsion that many photographers find when faced with the quite bewildering choices out there.
Some time back I tried to find an alternative to Lightroom because of the CC issue, but for me there wasn't one. So along with Lr comes Ps, fortunately Adobe seem to have realised that CC is impractical for many serious and professional photographers, many of whom have vast libraries of very large image files some running to very many terabytes which is impractical to store online, not to mention the risks involve with such a venture in a commercial setting. Adobe seem to be continuing to develop the Classic version alongside the CC version.
I have used NX-D It's good and probably gets more from an NEF than any other processor but I have a set routine with my images and unless there is something which isn't working well with the Lr, Ps combo, I stick with the devil I know.
There is quite a reasonable choice of image editing software but nothing which matches the contribution which Lightroom brings with it. Not as far as I am concerned anyway.
