#NIKON CAPTURE NX D DOWNLOAD TO OTHER HARD DRIVE SOFTWARE#

I was only doing it out of interest anyway to keep up with the times as I am very happy with my Lightroom ± Photoshop workflow and would be very unlikely to change. I did download NX-D out our curiosity after a conversation here with you some time back but found it incredibly slow so never took it any further. I was just going on what Vincent Lowe said in relation to embedding metadata in raw files there so no direct knowledge of it. So double processing a NEF file will give much wider dynamic range, but if the NEF isn't too far out of bounds, the U-points will help things along to the final image tweaked in photoshop.

Now they re-introduced U-points into the converter! Like Capture NX, the U-points work on something like the 16 bit TIFF data, not the RAW data. Not super fast but it doesn't hang up my processing speed and the color and contrast are hard to beat. The latest Nikon converters create the sidecar files but you don't notice this as one works on images - so it's quite seamless.

I get what you mean about editing raw files directly - I don't think any software does that. In fact doing so not only risks corruption but may also negate their use as evidence of ownership. Clearly going down the non-standard route is not great in the long term.Īs Vincent Lowe says, raw images are not designed to be edited directly. I recall trying out NX-D a while back after you mentioned it here and I found that agonisingly slow so I cannot imagine what NX-i must be like. There was even a joint statement from Nikon and Adobe about how they were going to be nice to each other and cooperate from now on. I think Nikon decided some years ago to stick to what it was good at and leave the software business to those who are good at that.
