D600/Lightroom

Well I will receive my D600 early next week from B&H. This morning reading UHH, I realized I have a problem. I shoot RAW with my D7000 and want to continue shooting RAW when the D600 arrives. I now load the photos directly into Lightroom 4.1. I thought RAW was RAW, I discovered that is not true (?)- that every camera handles it differently and according to everything I can find on the internet Adobe does not yet support the D600 in Lightroom or any of their other software for that matter and that it may be several months until they do. My question is what, if anything, I can do until Adobe offers an upgrade to Lightroom that includes the D600. Is there a "workaround" that can be used in the interim, do I have to buy additional software to use in the short term, or do I have to wait for Adobe?
Thanks for any help or advice you have!

Use the Nikon software that comes with the caamera.

Thanks, how do I do this? Instead of Lightroom or in addition to Lightroom?

Until Lightroom supports the D-600, I think ypu will have to use NX2 instead of lightroom. I really hope someone whth more knowledge chimes in.

If you want to process your photos in the RAW format you will have to download the DNG converter for your program through the Adobe website. When I bought my d3200 I learned that I couldn't open the NEF files from that camera directly into PSE9. After some research I downloaded that program (DNG Converter). I open my RAW/NEF files in either NX2 or iPhoto, then use the DNG converter to convert them into a RAW type file that PSE9 recognizes. Then I can open the file and start my PP.

I"m betting that NX2 can download the images from your card, and then you can use it to batch convert them to tiffs or another format. Be sure you keep the original NEF raw images until Adobe has the update for your new camera. Typically Adobe only takes about 2-3 weeks to come out with the new updates. I'm sure they are busy now since it seems that all the camera manufacturers are busy releasing new models.
