Capture NX 2 automatically puts the edit in the appropriate pane within the Edit List. With version 2, the bulk of the Base Edit adjustments are in a new edit called Camera Settings.
There you find all of the Raw conversion controls and other camera parameter settings that used to reside in Base Adjustments. Camera Settings only appear if your image is a Nikon Raw file. The rest of the former Base Adjustments have been spread through other edits. To facilitate a speedier editing workflow, a new QuickFix edit appears just below Camera Settings or at the top of the list if there is no Camera Settings.
You control these edits through sliders and buttons within the Edit List. These tools automatically identify shadow or highlight areas and darken or lighten only those areas. Their implementation in Capture NX 2 is very good. As with the previous version, Capture NX offers highlight recovery for Raw files. Nowadays, this is a standard feature in any decent Raw conversion program and an essential capability for Raw shooters. Both the Exposure Compensation and Highlight Protection sliders perform highlight recovery.
This is an area where the program could use some improvement. With them you can easily create complex selections and masks that are very difficult to achieve in other image editors — even Photoshop.
To use a control point, simply click it on the part of the image you want to adjust. Capture NX samples the color beneath the Control Point, then uses that color sample, combined with the specified radius, to calculate a mask. The brightness, contrast, and saturation adjustments are automatically applied through that mask. Figure 4. With it, you can easily make incredibly sophisticated localized adjustments. Capture NX also does an excellent job of attenuating its edits so that they blend seamlessly into non-edited areas.
For especially tricky selections and masks, it was often a huge lifesaver. For non-Nikon shooters, or for anyone who likes to keep the bulk of their work in Photoshop, Viveza is a great way to wnjoy the best part of Capture NX.
This allows you to use the same sophisticated masking mechanism whenever you apply Levels and Curves, sharpening, noise manipulation, or any other edit. A new Auto Retouch brush removes sensor dust and other image artifacts. Perhaps it was the size of my photo library that it was taking a long time to load. But NX Studio is quite snappy.
Oh its also great to see that data and edits can be placed directly into the raw file rather than side car. Its actually really good, I am pretty impressed with it, much better than having separate software for separate tasks. I noticed one bug, if you make edits and then quit the app MAC it was ask to save the edits, select yes and it returns back to the software rather than quitting.
Good to see this and great for Nikon owners who don't want to pay for additional software. I've tested it, and it works well, very well given that it's free. Compared to the predecessor, usability is considerably better. However, I gain better and more flexible results with DxO Lab. That's worth the price for me, and it's actually much more affordable than the incumbents.
It's part of the package when you buy a Nikon camera. To be fair comparing NX Studio with other tools make sense it they ar free too. NX Studio is a nice gift to Nikon users, with some limitations. If lens correction is important to you, and if you use non Nikon lenses on your camera body, there is an interesting alternative. Rawtherapee free can read the database of Adobe DNG converter free. The list of Nikon compatble lenses from Adobe is pretty extensive, That way if I share the file or whatever, or ingest it into another program, like LR, the coordinates wouild already be there.
And I don't think this could be too difficult. I mean I assume that whether the GPS coordinates are there or not, the overall structure data fields are probably there in the file they're just probably blank so adding this after that fact shouldn't be too hard. I know that there are some tools people can use, but this is an OEM piece of software, and sometimes third-party apps writing back into proprietary RAW files can cause corruption.
You can put the location information by clicking on the location on a map or you can use a gpx track and the software can automatically extract the location information for all images in the folder. This is why i use it. No but I'm talking about NX saving it back into the RAW file so that other programs can ingest the data by simply reading the file.
I think NX stores it in a separate file or a database on the computer. Ah my mistake then. You could try to change the 'Save Type' setting to save adjustments to the original file instead of the sidecar file. That might work but i didn't try it. At this point it's not a big deal. In reality it's also not a huge issue either as you can usually just give people a name of a place and let them find it on their own -- the only times it's helpful is if you're off the beaten path a bit. I would like to see the ability to add watermarks upon export in a future update in this program.
I am transitioning to a phase where I might be sharing more of my photos on social media, where I would like to protect my best pictures through watermarking.
Lightroom has a good system for adding watermarks, but I detest having to struggle through its catalog system to edit one picture.
There are a few things that were not carried over from CNX-D. Much has been mentioned about a loss of a convenient feature for exporting TIFFs to Photoshop and I noticed they removed an icon under the Adjustments tab for reverting back to your original image. This revert back icon should be restored. Unfortunately again not thought to the end: - do not display more than 4 images at the same time - no simultaneous resizing of the selected images in the viewer - no catalog for quick display with reduced image size like Media Pro.
Thanks for another great review Mike. Wasn't even aware this existed, downloaded it and I'll be giving it a fair chance. Any chance of a Silkypix review? Very good results with that one, if you can get used to the clunky interface. I know AKH. Hopefully they will fix all the missing things in the next version found several things that didn't work.
Can you make any localised edits via selections or brushes? Is there a healing brush? Well that was an interesting surprise Will need to try it out a bit. The killer though will probably be a lack of plugins as publishing to my zenfolio site is something that just works from LR I rarely use photoshop though, I almost exclusively work in lightroom Ever notice that almost everything is compared to the Adobe products? Sylvain C, A lot has changed in Lightroom in 4 years! I find that most of the Adobe haters will spend thousands on useless gear, like lenses they don't need or use, filters they don't use, etc etc, and then go cheap on processing software which they would use.
You might not use everything every time you sit down at the computer, but it's sure nice to have it when you need it. After all, to put it in perspective, it costs less than 1 good quality UV filter per year.
Not really, it's very tough to find clients that are willing to pay, I get the very odd paying job, mostly real estate photography, but for the most part I just do it for fun, it's a great hobby. I installed NX studio over the weekend, and played with it a bit. I can definitely see functionality gaps between it and lightroom, and some are deal breakers for me, that is not to complain on this new initiative from Nikon, as I understand its in its early days, and will undergo transformations. Still I agree with munn1 that I will be sticking with LR for now, as it is pretty good value, and I'm in a similar position of sometimes paid work corporate events , mostly hobby.
I will definitely be keeping an eye on the Nikon software though. Very interesting. Unfortunately NX-Studio can't open these files. I bake changes into 'developed' tif files and leave the original raw files alone. There's comfort in knowing that the raw file is always there, pristine and unchanged, whatever I might do to bugger things up.
Also, Highlights recovery and Shadow Brightness tool is great. I recommend. For videos I use other applications.
I agree. Got the free manufacturer-specific version with my Lumix and eventually paid for the all-format license. It's not a slick product from the UI point of view but very powerful in terms of image manipulation. I especially appreciate their informative and straightforward browser-based help system that downloads as a single file.
IMHO, this is a great approach: develop an engine available to all manufacturers for 'free' distribution with support only for their specific RAW format and then sell the same thing with universal support. I appreciate not having to learn something new for each camera brand and not paying subscription fees. I would say it is better in many ways, but as far as I remember NX2 has a little more advanced control points. I wish it had NX2 selection brush where you could edit select part of the image without affecting the rest of the image.
I suppose 'lasso' selection has gone too My first impression of this software was the colors. It is very good converting Nikon RAW files. And most of the Lightroom features are also in it. It will take some time to get used to using but it seems easier to use compared to Rawtherapee and Darktable Great job Nikon for this free software.
Search function for file info IPTC is case sensitive? When searching in my folder for "modellMC" I get no hits. So if I tag a picture with subject "Steven Andersson" the search "steven andersson" will get no results. Is there a fix or am I missing something? It's powered by the same impressive tech that guides self-driving vehicles and can detect and avoid obstacles from every angle.
