A friend just got a D80 and says she didn't get any processing software with the camera.
I got lucky and got CS2 early on.
Suggestions?
She's Jeanette: here she is.....(I've got her convincecd that she NEEDS DPC!!!)
"A 60-day trial came with the camera - Nikon Capture NX2. Has anyone out there used that in comparison with PhotoShop? Does it compare? Would it be worth getting PhotoShop even though I just got the camera and I'm only learning the basics now?
Thanks for your help!"

A beginner would save money and do well to just buy Photoshop elements. 85% of the functionality, for about 20% of the cost.
And the next item on my list would be Lightroom, as she starts to shoot more and more RAW.

NX2 is a great raw converter but it is not PS by any stretch. Shoe probably doesn't need NX2 but I use both in my work-flow. If she is only going to get one I say Photoshop.

Hey, cool, THANKS!!!!!
I'm forwarding this thread to her (She just left after passing along the advice from Neil)
it's going to be easy to get her hooked into DPC.....she's already a photography junkie after a week with her D80.....heh, heh.....
