What PP software should I use?

I have a W7 desktop and Linux Mint laptop, so neither can run both DT and Nik. Since you have a Macbook then you may be able to. However, DT is pretty much a self-contained package which doesn't communicate with any other software, so you'll probably just have to do what you want with DT then convert to tiff and import.

Thanks again for all the great info!

If I were you, I'd try an evaluation copy of Capture One 9.

Great image quality out of the box and much better colour control than LR. Much more flexible interface as well.

I use LightZone as my primary editor and cataloguing application, and Macphun's Creative Kit for anything more intensive/creative...
