I'm out then
This is basically a Lightroom competitor for Nikon. For Free.
It combines the power of 2 previous software -- at least one of which was Paid. The other I think was free.
But it combines both and is a powerful tool for Nikon users. Although Adobe might have slightly more features being $100/yr.

To Photo editing experts:
What best image format for editing, besides RAW, png, jpeg, Tiff, something else?
Is the a good easy to follow tutorial for editing out a person from a photo?
Example: if the whites and blacks in a jpg are off (too bright, too dark), you have very little chance of truly correcting those errors (those corrections would have in theory been done already from the RAW>JPG process by the camera).
With a RAW file, you have access to more dynamic range to work with, so your chances of being able to save even bad shots is better.
Note that it usually takes more "work" to edit a RAW file than a JPG (with LOTS of exceptions to that).
Personally, I just shoot both RAW and JPG at the same time, unless I need high speed for sports (then just JPG). Then in post I can make the decision on whether or not the JPG the camera produced is good enough, or I need to really dig in and start from the negative as it were.

Was good (but not free) until they stopped supporting it and it fell apart.

I'm not an expert, but I take pics and have a workflow for processing/storing/sharing them. I take photos in RAW format, process them as RAW files and sometimes as TIFFs to use image processing tools that can't handle RAW, and then export as JPG to share online.

I totally understand that Raw is the best but also results in very large file size. I can that it would make sense to use Raw format when taking very specific types of photos, like nature, architect, etc.. But not for all photos taken at a birthday party or any occasion where you just keep clicking to capture moments.

Thanks for the reminder for this. I had forgotten the name of it.
