<br />2015-05-26 Nikon 1 V3 firmware versie 1.10<br />2015-05-26 UT-1 firmware versie 2.4<br />2015-05-21 COOLPIX P610 firmware versie 1.1<br />2015-05-21 D750 firmware versie 1.02</p>

<p>Thanks. I downloaded Capture NX-D 1.2.1 today. Nikon warns that use of noise reduction feature may cause crash of software. Also got new nef-codec for windows.</p>

<p>Also updated in camera lens profiles from 2.00 -> 2.009 version.</p>

<p>NX-D is now working quite well for me. I decided to give up on storing the TIFFS and NEFs in the same directories because NX-D seems incapable of consistently displaying the two next to each other. There are fewer crashes, also.</p>

<p>With ViewNX-i, a different story. It crashes on my computer every few minutes. Otherwise it looks decent. I really hate it that removes ViewNX2 since I've got a version of the older software which is stable.</p>

<p>I don't like NX-D so I keep using NX-2.</p>

<p>One advantage of NX-D (over NX2) is that you can make adjustments to images without "loading" them explicitly (of course the software loads them in the background but the wait switching from one image to the next is negligible, whereas with NX2 you'd have to wait several seconds to open an image up). There is however, an increased delay in transferring the image to Photoshop - this operation took less time in NX2.</p>

<p>I would continue to use NX2 (because of its feature set) but NX2 doesn't support the D810 NEFs directly, so I now use a mixture of ViewNX2+PS CC and NX-D, depending on what I want to do with the images. For example with Adobe I can use custom profiles which I use in the studio. With NX-D, I get the familiar look of the images as set in camera using picture controls and can continue post-processing with the image closer to how I set it in camera. Also I find the Nikon converters do a very nice job of balancing noise and resolution at higher ISO, so if a project uses a lot of high ISO I prefer to use NX-D (or NX2 with older cameras). </p>
