Capture was not the most popular software but this would be a death sentience in the long run if your just learning software. If this is the case it will be a bummer because any new camera Nikon makes the files might not open or be correct. When you need a local camera shop its worth the extra cost to keep them around).įrom my understanding Capture NX2 will not be supported after some date this year and some other software will be taking over for Nikon, could have been a bad rumor but a rumor non the less.
Post processing has been my big stumbling block so take that with a grain of salt, plus the fact I won a ticket to a Nikon School course, from my local camera store, that showed what you could do with Capture NX2 (I had to add the plug about the local camera stores, they seem to be dwindling by the second.
I admit I prefer Capture NX2 over my current version of LR 4 (I choose to skip LR 5 at the moment). I only ask because my wife gave me NX2 as a birthday gift last week. I thought it was a plug-in for NX2 as well. In the case of an image with a wide dynamic range that you want to work with in Photomatix, you can export separate dark, medium, and light versions of the same image as TIFF files and combine them in Photomatix just as you would a set of bracketed exposures.Proves my ignorance of image software. As yet there is no support for NIK Colour EFX 3 unless running in 32 Bit mode but NIK have announced that work is going on to provide us with a 64 Bit version in the new year. Its main feature was that it is now fully 64 Bit Compatible. If you go ahead and do these basic adjustments before exporting a file as a 16-bit TIFF then you can apply different adjustments from other applications at that point in your workflow without sacrificing much, if any, quality compared to applying those tools to an unconverted RAW file. We were all given something of a Christmas present by Nikon - Capture NX2.3 was released. In general the things that are "baked in" when a RAW file is converted to TIFF or JPEG are things like: White Balance, Exposure, Contrast, and Highlight and Shadow curves. nef files are reverse engineered using their own proprietary algorithms. In the case of Nikon, the demosaicing algorithms Nikon uses are proprietary. They do it that way so that the original data from the RAW file is not destructively altered.
Almost all RAW convertors save the adjustments you make to a file as a set of instructions in a form only the program you used to make the adjustments with can understand.
