To open your Raw file you can simply assign an editor in cPicture to open the file.
But if you like to open a RAW file with another editor not supporting your used RAW Format, you can use the universal DNG format to link to your editor.
In this example, we will use external tools and a plugin script to create a simple workflow to open a non-Nikon RAW file with the Nikon RAW software Capture NX.
First the RAW gets converted to a DNG and then to a 16bit TIFF, which can be opened by Capture NX.
