Available free with your camera Excellent support for Nikon’s cameras from launch day Realistic color with minimal effort Impressive shadow recovery from D-Lighting HS Decent performance, albeit still not as good as ACR	Only supports Nikon cameras Lacks many controls offered by ACR and other rivals Selection of controls doesn’t make sense for less-experienced shooters No one-click auto control Can’t use distortion correction if it wasn’t enabled at capture time Denoising robs fine detail and can’t be disabled Interactions between controls can prove challenging

Adobe Camera Raw

More modern user interface Supports a vast range of cameras from many brands Great performance and accurate real-time preview Great image quality overall Holds onto more fine detail than ViewNX-i Does a great job with highlights/shadows	Recurring subscription fee with no perpetual license option Camera support can take a while to arrive Less pleasing color than Nikon’s software by default Leaves significantly more noise in images by default
