I imagine all of them may have been (at least) looked at using the Nikon software. I doubt there was a lot (any ?) post processing done - but it was a long time ago. The D7000 image for comparison was loaded (sorry, imported ;) directly from the camera.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica
