Jason Odell recommends the use of Photo Mechanic (instead of Nikon View) as a front end browser for RAW image files. He adds that he has only tried to use Photo Mechanic to view files processed with Nikon Capture NX, and not those saved by the the older Nikon Capture which might not be 100% compatible with Photo Mechanic.
