What are thoughts from the list about this software that was bundled with the camera?

I actually use it just to off load the files from the CF. Then I normally open the files in PSCS and sometimes NC.

Nikon View is probably more favoured than Picture Project. Capture is quite useful and Nikon Editor is a handy lightweight program. All programs available from http://www.nikon-asia.com/

Prefer Nikon View for downloading, then generally use PS CS to edit. Am trying to get myself disciplined enough to make good use of IMatch for catelogueing (sp?)

Nothing bundled in the box will work for you as you wish.
Picture Project is a kind of "dump fuel".
Nikon Capture is a bugger with 30 days trial.

What else?

Alternative, you can download Nikon View 6.21 from all Nikon sites same as Nikon Capture 4.21 (required activation key for NC).

You paid and bought the camera (hardware) not software.

Mr Rotty, I have had some problems finding a good program too, picture project was crap and when i recently upgraded my computer i didnt even install it .. my dad dose too many silly thing with pics like adding people and objects which has given me a dislike to pics that have been heavly modified ..
I have just installed nikon veiw and it is the first one im happy with , all pics stay and get saved under my docs - my pictures ,so there easly accsesable ( as im no computer wiz ) to crop down size and try the colour fix is simple and straight forward,, I will also be able to give details like focal lengh, and the other camera settings is i fiddle with them so often, and take shots in raw .....
