Like you I am also testing the water with a D70. By the way, the water is fine!!! I am using CS to process RAW nefs, and am getting comfortable with it. My trial of CAPTURE 4.1 expired, I think 30 days is far two little time to get familiar enough with the software to decide wether to buy it or not. I agree it is clunky and non intuitive. As well there is damm all support in the way of useful instructions, unlike CS, for witch you can buy manuals and how to books by the dozen. I actually had a problem with some Raw files today, 3/4 portraits. One in particular had shocking moire on a mushroom coloured blouse. In CS raw, The noise adjustment, even on maximum mereley reduced the moire to grey stripes. In CS proper, using duplicate layer/blend mode-Colour, Gaussian blur from 10-60 pixels still leaves stripes. Capture 4.1 loaded onto another workstation succesfully removed most of the moire on the low and medium settings, except for a few which needed "high". I found that using a low setting on bad ones removes 80-90% of the moire and then using the colour blend/blur method at fairly low settings removes the moire completely. The moire occurs evenly in all three RGB channels as well as in L and a,b in lab mode so the normal techniques don't work. So far this moire problem is the only serious deficiency in the D70, (and from what I have heard with most other cameras as well) and it looks like I will need to buy Cap 4.1 for this alone! And maybe for it's Auto dust removal feature, witch I haven't tried yet. If anyone has other solutions to my moire prob, please post! regards Frank Styevko (from OZ)
