I would recommend starting your editing with the Picture Control parameters in NX-D. Then if you are unhappy or more is needed, look at the other edit tools. This speeds processing of the nef files. I have found that you can crash NX-D with too many edits outside of PC. Differences? Contrast in PC seems to be an adjustment of the shape of an S curve and tends not to blow out highlights or shadows as easily. Saturation - PC much more limited to avoid crazy colors. For some reason I never use brightness within PC. Sometimes I use small brightness adjustment outside of PC to change shadows.

<blockquote> <p>"Richard Williams , Jun 14, 2016; 09:32 a.m.<br /><br />Yes, you would be operating on a tiff file if you used Viveza instead of CNX2 for control point editing, but my assumption is that whatever program you use to host the Nik plugins (e.g. Photoshop) won't care about the Nikon metadata and will be directly compatible with NX-D tiffs. CNX2, on the other hand, seems to be unusually fussy about its input tiffs."</p> </blockquote> <p>Fussy yes. In particular, regarding metadata fields not the image data itself.</p>

Maybe there is some glitch related to handling of the labels across the two.</p> </blockquote> <p>I believe the original View and Capture NX2 store all metadata in the files. It seems that the creation of the tif file and putting label data in the tif file by ViewNX-i is the problem. It is my impression that how label data is handled is not particularly industry standardized, however, you would think that Nikon would be able to create a tif file that would not be a problem for other Nikon software. As a side note, I have seen instances where other raw processing software was used to create tif files with metadata added to the tif that caused problems for ONLY Nikon software. In particular, Rawtherapee and Photoninja.</p>

<p>Kari: "NX-d: in the preview mode, Ctrl+Alt+5 takes me to the 50% view, but Ctrl+Alt+1 does nothing. I am able to save this and go to the 100% view by Ctrl++ key shortcut. Not sure if some other program is intercepting the Ctrl+Alt+1." <br> Ctrl+Alt+1 works as it should for me. Does anyone know the difference between "Fit to screen" (Ctrl+Alt+0) and "Fit" with shortcut letter E ?? Both show as options when right clicking. They seem to do the same thing. Also, NX-D manual claims that shortcut E is a toggle between fitting the preview and zooming to 100%. It does no zooming for me. Strange little over-sites and quirks.<br> Also, in the new ViewNX-i at the bottom of the Edit Palette there is a Save icon. However, as far as I can see, all modifications as to image adjustments or metadata, automatically save to the sidecar file when the image is closed. It seems a hang-over from View NX-2 that was left by mistake.</p>

<blockquote> <p>From original Q:<br> The only way out appears to be manual mode-when shutter/aperture both can be set. But then proper exposure would be trial/error exercise. I would like to know- which mode and settings to use when the flash is in FP mode.</p> </blockquote> <p>In M mode on camera, the flash becomes the primary light and proper exposure is automatically adjusted by flash power (assuming xTTL or Auto setting on flash). Just make sure M mode camera settings are set to under expose.</p>

<p>Adding to William Porter ideas:</p> <p>"There are lots of ways to do this. I think I've done every one of them.</p> <ol> <li>Set white balance to a fixed temp (usually 5000K) and leave it there, on theory that you at least know where you started. Got that tip from one very famous photographer (who by now is probably doing something different).</li> <li>Set custom white balance in camera for the shooting scene.</li> <li>Shoot a WhiBal or similar card for reference and adjust later.</li> <li>Put it on Auto White Balance and forget about it. Correct in post if necessary."</li> </ol> <p>Suggest doing 3. along with 1. Do not do 3. with 4. because it will confuse you and the camera. Found this out the hard way.</p>
