Digital BW, The Print

John,

Been away so rather late with this, but to correct your reply - some third 
party raw conversion software CAN and DOES decrypt the Nikon WB info from 
the D2x (I think Bibble does), but Adobe has decided not to do this for some 
legal or 'political' reason in its ACR software.

The controversy was Nikon encrypted the White Balance for the raw file. Even 
though the user
does not set WB for raw, third party raw conversion software could not read 
the "as shot
white balance". Basically Nikon was/is trying to force users to buy their 
Nikon software for
$100.00.
