Hi Perian,

Before making a major commitment to JP2000, you might consider converting
those NEF's to DNG, which remains (so far as I am aware - and I expect
others to jump in momentarily) more widely implemented than JP2000. There
are certainly more tools that can use it. As you go forward, you need to
consider what your clients can use/want.
