Yes, Howard – you don’t get Open Directly for free! Sure you can go to NX2 via Finder/Explorer, but this plug-in can simultaneously send multiple files from different folders. What’s more, it is no longer just for NX2, which was my original plan and a common user request. Now you can set up to 6 external apps, which don’t have to be raw converters. For example, you can use it to send photos via Mail/Outlook without going through Export. My time has gone into it, it’ll save some users a big chunk of time, and if you don’t think it’s a fair deal….

I also believe it would be in Adobe’s best interests to embrace other editing tools and allow for transfer in RAW format as a preference option. I know they would argue that for some formats, like NEF, the resultant edits could not be rendered in LR, but I think that should be a user choice.

Where are some of the photos from the Palouse? Look forward to some posts that might include some of those shots.

Heading through that area tomorrow on the way to my hometown.

Hope you enjoyed your time there!
