I installed VueScan, so now the VueScan driver is installed. When I use Nikon Scan with the VueScan driver I can make modifications in the preferences and when I click the OK button it appears to work correctly, but the changes I made are not implemented. It does not cause Nikon Scan to stop responding like it did with the other driver. I have a Windows 10 Professional 64 bit operating system and Nikon Scan is version 4.0.3.

I have a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 and am using Nikon Scan 4.0.3 on a Windows 10 Professional 64 bit system. I have the driver loaded that was developed by someone on the internet. The driver is not signed so I had to follow instruction on how to load unsigned drivers and it worked. I am unable to modify preferences for Nikon Scan 4.0.3. When I click on preferences the screen to modify them opens and I can check the boxes or make selection on what I want. When I click the OK button the software stops responding. I have to use Task Manage to close the program. When I open Nikon Scan again it opens, I can scan film but the preferences have not changed. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

I have started scanning again using Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 to scan medium format film (645) with the Nikon glass film holder. I am using Nikon Scan 4.0.3 software on a Windows 10 Professional computer. My film is cut with 5 images per strip. You can scan 4 images and I have to rotate the film to scan the 5th image. The first image scans ok, but I have to set a film strip offset for images 2,3,and 4. The offset is not the same for all 3 images and varies from strip to strip. I don't remember doing this when I scanned 645 film years ago. Anyone have any inputs on how to resolve this problem. This really slows down the scanning because I have to do multiple preview scan to get the offset correct. I can't batch scan the strip because of this offset problem with images 2,3,and 4. I have not tried 35mm yet.

I have a Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 that I purchased new many years ago. I planned on scanning my negatives (35mm and medium format) and 35mm slides. I have scanned a lot of them, but still have many left. I have an older Windows computer that has a firewire connection that works with the scanner. I currently have Windows 10 64 bit Professional operating system and the CoolScan 9000 is working using Nikon Scan software. I did have to install an unsigned driver to get it working. I followed the instruction at this site to get it working. Getting your Nikon Coolscan to work on W7 x64 - Windows 7 Help Forums

You can use Lightroom without adding all your images to Lightroom's library. I set Lightroom to generate xmp files, which is what you have with all your images processed with Adobe Camera RAW. You have to import the RAW files into Lightroom in order to process them, but you don't have to keep them there. After you complete adjustment to the images in Lightroom and export the jpg file to the location you want, just remove the images from Lightroom. Since you set Lightroom to generate xmp files, the xmp files will be in the same location as the RAW files - just like you have when processing using Adobe Camera RAW. Lightroom's catalog is now empty, your jpg files are where you exported them and the RAW files now have xmp files. If you need to make additional adjustments in the future, just import them again and they will open with the settings that were saved in the xmp files. You can import any of your images processed with Adobe Camera RAW and they will open with the settings saved in their xmp files. I don't need Lightroom's catalog and have been working this way for several years.

I use custom camera profiles for RAW conversion using Adobe Lightroom. I find custom profiles give more accurate color than Adobe Standard or Camera profiles. You can purchase custom camera profiles for your camera or generate them yourself using Adobe's free DNG Profile Editor software, X-Rite Passport software, and others. Your monitor needs to be calibrated if you want to get accurate color.

I don't need or want the organization tool in Lightroom. I don't want to follow the rules required to use a database.

I don't like or need the library function in Lightroom. I use Lightroom 6.13 and set it to write edits to xmp files. You have to import the images into the Lightroom library in order to edit them, but after I export edited files I remove them from the Lightroom library. If I need to make additional changes in the future I just import them again and since they have xmp files they open with the last edits. I complete any changes, export completed files, and remove from the library. My Lightroom library is empty unless I am editing something. Works for me.

Adobe has been updating Lightroom 6 to support new cameras, I assume they will do it for the D850. I think this is probably your best option. I would not want to convert NEF files to DNG files because DNG is not supported industry wide.

You mention that you shoot RAW files, sRGB. RAW files do not have a color space, so sRGB is only used by the in camera processing software to generate a JPG image with sRGB color space. The RAW file will contain all the in camera settings like Picture Control Profile, color space, etc. If you process the RAW file using Nikon Capture NX-D software it will read the in camera settings and generate a JPG that matches the one from the camera. If you process the NEF file with Lightroom, it will not read the in camera settings and will generate an RGB file (JPG, TIFF, etc) using Adobe Standard camera profile unless you selected one of the camera matching profiles. You can also select color space for the file that Lightroom outputs (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc). I don't know about C1, but I assume it does not read in camera settings like Lightroom and will use it own camera profile to generate an RGB image that you can output with various color spaces (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc). I doubt that RGB images from two different RAW processing software packages will match. Try selecting different camera profiles in Lightroom and C1 to see what happens.

The key is the 64 bit driver for the Nikon scanner. I did this to get my Nikon 9000 scanner to work with NiionScan 4.03 with Wndows 7 64 bit professional software. I have since updated to Windows 10 Professional and the Nikon 9000 scanner still works. My motherboard has a Firewire input and it works with the Nikon 9000 scanner.

I also have a Nikon 9000. I scanned a lot of medium format using a custom glass carrier that I constructed. I also have the Nikon glass carrier, but get better results with my custom carrier. I still have a lot of negatives and 35mm slides I want to scan - I need to get back to scanning. I am using Nikon Scan software initially on a Windows 7 Professional computer, but I now have it working on a Windows 10 Professional computer with Nikon Scan. I followed instruction available on the internet to generate a 64 bit driver that works with Windows 7 and Windows 10.

I do not have any experience with the Nikon 8000. I have scanned color negatives in both 35mm and medium format, have not started scanning my 35mm slides yet. I use a holder with glass for scanning medium format. I have both the Nikon glass holder for medium format and one that I constructed.

I have a Nikon 9000 and currently have used it with Windows XP, Windows 7 64 Bit, and now Windows 10 64 Bit all using Nikon Scan software. The following sites describe how to get it to work with the latest operating systems. You use Nikonscan 4.0.3, which was for Windows Vista. I followed the instruction for the sevensforums and had it working with Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit. When I upgraded Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10, the scanner worked after the upgrade.

<p>You can select images in Lightroom and have them sent to Photoshop for stitching - I do it all the time with RAW files. Lightroom will open 16 bit images in ProPhoto RGB in Photoshop for stitching. I am using Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 6. </p>

<p>Identified the problem. I have Display personalization set to 125% on my Desktop and when I changed it to 100% the missing adjustments parameters are now visible. I have a 24 inch display for my desktop and needed the Display personalization at 125% to increase text and icon sizes to something similar to what I have on the Laptop with Display personalization at 100%. I don't know if there in another solution to this, but I only use Capture NX-D to determine how to setup my camera. I do all RAW processing with Lightroom. </p>

<p>I uninstalled Nikon Capture NX-D v1.0.1 and Picture Control Utility 2 and installed again. I still have the same problem. This is my desktop computer, which I use all the time. I looked at my Laptop, which is also using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and it has all of the Picture Control adjustments including Hue. The other thing I noticed is the white box above the sliders for Picture Control adjustments on the Laptop all have values shown, but the boxes on the desktop are all blank - no values shown. Both of these computers have the same operating system, but the processor in the desktop is an AMD and the laptop is an Intel. Desktop has 8GB of RAM and Laptop has 4 GB of RAM. Windows 7 is up to date on both computers. <br> Anyone have any ideas? </p>

<p>Saturation is the last Picture Profile Adjustments that shows in Capture NX-D, but all of it is not visible - the slider with the two triangles in the center and the square with Auto is not visible for Saturation. The only thing visible for Saturation is the -3, white rectangle, and 3. There is nothing below Saturation. I have to type a value in the white rectangle for saturation since there is no slider. </p>

<p>Thanks for the input, but when the slider is visible and I slide it to the bottom saturation is the last adjustment visible. I guess this is a bug in Capture NX-D for a Windows 7 computer.</p>

<p>I have CNX-D version 1.0.1 and Hue is not available as a parameter adjustment for Picture Control Profiles - all other parameter adjustments are available (sharpening, clarity, contrast,brightness, and saturation). Picture Control Utility v2 does have hue as a parameter you can adjust, but the user manual shows it should be available in CNX-D. </p>

<p>I have evaluated this with D700 and D810 NEF files, Hue option is available with the camera. I have tried Latest Picture Control and Camera Compatible options and HUE adjustment is not available on either. If I open Picture Utility v2 HUE adjustment is available, but the user manual for Nikon Capture NX-D (page 23) shows it available and it should be just below the saturation adjustment. I think this is an issue with Capture NX-D, at least for a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit system. </p>

<p>I have Nikon Capture NX-D installed on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit computer. Page 23 of the Nikon Capture NX-D Reference Manual shows Hue as a parameter you can adjust, but it is not available on my copy of the program. Does anyone else have this problem?</p>

<p>I have Nikon Capture NX-D, Photoshop CS6 with latest RAW converter, and Lightroom 5 with latest updates. I process D-810 images using Lightroom and a modified Camera Neutral profile that is equivalent to using Netural in the camera with C+1 and S+1 selected. I modified the Camera Neutral profile using Adobe's DNG Profile Editor to generate a modified tone curve and increased saturation by setting Red, Green, and Blue Saturation to +7. You could do the same by generating a custom tone curve for the RAW converter and setting Saturation to +7. The RAW converter for Photoshop gives the same results as Lightroom. The color is slightly different for the Camera Neutral profile in Lightroom and Camera RAW compared to Neutral in camera or Capture NX-D - I like Camera Neutral in Adobe better. <br> I only use Nikon Capture NX-D and a RAW file to show what various in camera adjustments will do for the in camera jpg. Capture NX-D does not have enough capability for the adjustments I need. </p>

<p>I have a 28-300mm and 24-70mm lens for my D700. When on vacation I keep the 28-300mm on the camera for most shots (Yellowstone and Grand Tetons). I have the camera in aperture priority, auto ASA, with lens set to f8. I shoot everything in RAW and use Lightroom to process files. Lightroom automatically corrects distortion and vignetting. I have some excellent panoramas with the lens at 200mm using 24 and 36 exposures - 3 rows of 8 and 4 rows of 9 images. These were of Lower Falls and Grand Prismatic springs. </p>
