Nikon ViewNX2

Has anyone used the ViewNX2 software that comes with the camera? Is there a manual on how to use it? I've been using Picasa Picknic, but it is going away soon.

I have a p&s Nikon at work that came with VNX2. So I use it at work and it seems fairly straightforward to use. But, that's coming from someone who uses Capture NX2 at home and the terminology is similar between the 2 programs.
I think the manual is on the disk, if I recall correctly. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Go to this Nikon site for the manual http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/software/CapNX2/CAPNX2_UM_EN.pdf also look for the updates for Capture N/X I believe there are two of them

You are correct, there are very recent updates in view nx2
Just run the new upgrade & it will delete & overright the older version.
Easy task.

One issue with VNX2, at least on the Mac: If I edit a photo with VNX2 and save it, the resulting NEF file is just about double the original size. A 10.8 MB NEF file with an adjustment to lighting and some sharpening ends up as 20.4 MB. If, instead, I open it in Photoshop CS5 and do the same kind of editing, I end up with the same 10.8 MB NEF file and a 10-15 K .XMP file. If I want to revert to the original, I can just dump the XMP file. If I took the time, I could probably learn to edit the XMP file, which is a text file recording the metadata and descriptions of the changes.
Anyone know why VNX2 doubles the file size? Does it do this in the Windows version?
Can you revert to the original using VNX2 if you have saved the image and reopened it?

It's a railroad rngine that uses air like a hover craft. Only one was made in the world ( I think ) and it's sitting at a maint. shed at a railroad museum here in Pueblo, Co.
