I'm back!
One of the interesting things about the Photoshop camera raw plug-in is that you have the ability to rescue some clipped highlights and shadows that in a jpg appear to be void of detail. Sometimes this can spell the difference between a good and unusable image.
The advantage of having your image edited in Raw is that there are many fine tunings available that don't exist in Photoshop. Also in the Photoshop raw plug-in you also have the ability to batch process and review images without actually having to open them.
There is a reason that the top pros shoot raw. It offers much greater flexibility. I back-up my Raw images on Cd's. It's like archiving one's negatives.
One thing I really like about the Nikon Capture program is that it allows you to upload custom curves to the camera. It's pretty awesome.
