For years I have tried to find the type of gloves my father used when hunting in order to keep my hands and fingers warm. They had an index finger with a hole in it to stick your finger out of when pulling the trigger. I wanted similar when taking pictures in winter, particularly Christmas lights.

At last my cries have been heard: both B&H and Amazon have "shooting gloves". I think B&H has a better selection. I bought a pair. They have the necessary index finger opening but on both hands to accommodate left handers. They also have magnets in the hands to help holding metal cameras or other equipment.

I did a search on this before I started but can't figure out the right combination of words to use to target what I am looking for.

I am at the beginning stages of discovering the process of using the RAW files versus SOOC JPG's for PP. I have and use Paintshop Pro X6 extensively for PP and realize there is a Camera RAW module that fits neatly in with the workflow.

I was using Nikon's View NX2, however I have lost a .dll file in connection with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 module which got screwed up along the way. This software will not load anymore because of the missing .dll

With viewNX2 I used the ability to create additional tif files with the EV adjuster within the software, which PPS does not have, or at least I don't think it has.

With all that said is there something out there better than the PaintShop Pro raw converter. All of the other adjustment are and can be made in PSP. Also have the full complement of NIK filters which I use extensively. PSP X8 comes with AfterShot 2 but have not upgraded because X8 versus X6 didn't seem like there was much. If AfterShot 2 is that much better than CameraRaw Lab, this would give me the incentive to upgrade.

I am not ready to make the Photoshop CC leap yet.

Looking for some guidance and experiences here for my journey into to RAW to final output.

I’m glad that I have finally gotten old (approaching 72). I like seeing advances and discoveries in technology, science, and astronomy. But I also noticed something else.

When I was a teenager watching TV and movies, I would see various actors who were children, young, middle aged, and old. That’s just the way it was. As time went on, I’d see someone in a movie who looked familiar. Then I realized it was a former young actor - now in his 70's. Wow! What happened? Child actors became adults, and mature actors aged and died. When I was younger, everyone seemed to remain at about the same age. Now I see beautiful young people almost unrecognizable as senior citizens. It’s only by living long enough that we are able to see other people aging along with us.

Just passing along some random observations.

Replying to the rest of your reply, duh!. I know all about the misnomers, actual image projected ect.etc... the whole point is not always having the time to do Post cropping after a game. If I were going for an 810, I'd wait till I could afford the D4 along with 600mm glass.
Not worried about the losing reach cause I can always crop the D750 shots with no issues...if I have the time. I have the 7000 which will be sold and $$$ put toward a replacement. Something I can use and not get frustrated over.
