I know that editing is quite subjective. What I'm interested in is whether any of the suggested edits offer an appreciable advance on what I can get from the JPEG version. For example, I think RLucas's version is too oversaturated for my tastes but I reckon I could replicate that if I wanted (and I appreciate him taking the time to show how he would work it). However, he does seem to have a bit more detail round the headlight area.

Another thing that is potentially interesting is to see the range of results that can be drawn out from the "digital negative".

Wow! It is oversaturated! I am at work right now, on a different monitor. It may be that I had to resize it to post on here? I don't know.

I don't know, but most raw converters should open NEF files. I used Capture NX2 on this, but I also use UFRAW, and Gimp quite regularly. I have always been able to open them just fine with those as well.

Good luck with the research. I am interested as well.
