What photo software do you use?

Ok..so I got the new Nikon d700. The Raw files are not supported by my Apple Aperture program yet. I'm thinking of using this as an opportunity to see what else is out there for raw conversion and photo management software. Can you tell me what you use and why you like it? Any users out there of Bibble, Microsoft Expressions, Capture One, Nikon NX2, Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, etc...? Anyone with some good links to other blogs or forums who talk about this stuff? Thanks!!

I use Adobe Bridge and Canon D.P.P. Bridge is very good, allows me to meta tag everything and group into favorites.etc quickly. I use Canon DPP to batch process jpegs from the Raw. Then edit raw files in photoshop. I've used Nikon's proprietary software on NEF's the same way. Simple but very effective for me.

Why not use the software that came with the camera to convert the RAW images to TIFF?

DPP is Canon's out-of-the-box software. Pretty good too.

I've been using Lightroom. It does most everything I want it to do and then some. I believe you can download a Trial version to give it a test drive.

Convert them to DNG using Adobe DNG convertor then use any of the Adobe products that use the Camera Raw plug in(LR, PS, Bridge, whatever)

I use Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. With this combo you can pretty much do it all. Highly recommended.
