Moving between NX2 and lightroom?

<p>I've just been starting to play with NX2. I absolutely love it for it's CA correction, and it's in-camera simulation. but I find it's highlight recovery to be terrible. It appears to just put a blob of burning over top of all the bright spots.</p>

<p>Anyways. is there a way I can get the benefits of NX2 processing but still use lightroom to recover the highlights? If I save a tiff from NX2 and try and pull the highlights from that it doesn't work, as expected, because it's not the RAW file, and if I pull the highlights in lightroom and then save a tiff then I don't get the benefits from NX2, correct?</p>

<p>a push in the right direction would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Couldn't you duplicate the RAW, run both NX and LR adjustments and combine the two tiffs?</p>

<p>Because NX2 uses "nondistructive" processes in RAW, and all changes made in an "edit list", RAW files imported into another editor will not include the changes. However, saving as a TIF or a JPEG will allow you to move into another editor with the NX edits included.</p>

<p>Please don't be offended but, if you have just started to play with NX2, is it possible that you're saving the tiffs in 8-bit mode?</p>
