    Capture NX2 'Show Focus Point'

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <blockquote>

    <p>If you were to use Nikon View NX2, free from Nikon, you do not have to worry about the mouse issue to see the focus point bracket. It shows up on the thumbnail image as well as the full size image assuming you select it by clicking on it in the taskbar across the top of the program. And you can move right into Capture NX2 by clicking on it in the taskbar. I use both programs together. I do not use the browser feature of Capture NX2. I use View NX2 for this function.

    <p>That is true as long as the photo hasn't been adjusted in CNX2 & then those adjustments are saved within the original NEF.</p>

    New versions of Capture NX2 & View NX2 available now

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>There is a discussion at the CNX2 Flickr group discussing the problems with compatibility between CNX2 & CEP3.<br>

    http://www.flickr.com/groups/capturenx/discuss/72157628495818029/<br>

    There is an update that CEP3 did that will make it compatible with CNX2 32-bit vers.. The old version was 3.002 & the newer version is 3.003. It seems to be working for the people that have tried it. You can't use the 64-bit vers. of CNX2 but it seems to be an improvement over the old 2.2.8.</p>

    Nikon 18-200mm creeping time

    in Nikon

    Posted

    I've never really minded the creeping myself until this past week. Walking around the north woods of Wisconsin it became a little troublesome for me. As Matt Laur said, you would normally be holding it when walking around but when I was on terrain that was kind of rough I needed both hands/arms extended for balance. Even with a stretchable neckstrap absorbing some of the shock of bouncing. That darn lens kept creeping even when locked into the 18mm position! It would take it a little while to unlock from the 18mm position but when it did it didn't take long to become fully extended. It got to the point that I became more worried about my lens than where I was going & I probably missed some good shots! My lens is about 1 1/2 years old.<br />

    NEF to JPG: ViewNX or CaptureNX2?

    <p>Did I miss something here? The original question was on "Converting" RAW to jpg. It doesn't ask which is better for adjustments or pixel manipulation.</p>

     

    <blockquote>

    <p>I wanted to ask the question here: which is better, ViewNX or CaptureNX2, for converting RAW to JPG?</p>

    </blockquote>

    <p>The answer to this would be, they are equal because they both use the same conversion engine. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I certainly am not a computer guru.</p>

    Color EFEX Pro 3.0 for NX2..

    in Nikon

    Posted

    <p>I also use it with Capture NX2. I just purchased it a couple of days ago. The only downside that I can see so far is that it will take a long time to truely discover all of it's capabilities. There are a lot of filters & each one has it's own little buttons & sliders for tweaking. A person could spend a lifetime tweaking things! Keeps me out of the Taverns though. ;>)</p>

    Nikon software crashes browser

    <blockquote>

    <p>Nikon Transfer 1.3.1 and NX View 1.2.2. Everything is fine until I disconnect the camera from the usb and the browser stops working. The entire OS needs to be restarted for Firefox to work again. I have XP Home SP2 and FF 3.0.7.</p>

    <p>You do realize that every one of these is out of date. Nikon Transfer <em><strong>1.4.0</strong> </em> , NX View <em><strong>1.3.0</strong> </em> , FF <em><strong>3.0.8</strong> </em> , XP Home <em><strong>SP3</strong> </em> . Just an observation. ;)</p>

    Software Correction for Stuck and Hot Pixels (Nikon D300)

    in Nikon

    Posted

    Andre: Seems as if nobody wants to actually answer your question. I do agree that sending your camera back to B&H really is the proper way to go. They will just send it back to Nikon & recover their costs.

     

    Now, to the problem at hand. Using the Retouch Brush seems like the way to go. I am by no means an expert on Capture NX but I would think that the retouches would have to be at the same coordinates as the first. The problem you may run into is, what happens if that spot that needs fixing winds up right directly on a straight edge of a building let's say. Where you have a bright blue background & the building is dark brown. The Retouch Brush needs to use surrounding pixels to do it's job properly. It guesses at what colors need to be used & applies that to the fixed area. So you probably will end up with a very straight edge with this little glob of a blue & brown mixture at one point. Now, that being said, you may not even notice it. You may want to do some experimenting, but you can imagine that sometimes it just isn't going to work as you would like it to. I hope I explained that well enough for you to understand. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

    Should Nikon allow returns on software?

    I recently bought a D700 and used the trial version of NX2 during the 60 day period. I found it was very

    slow and crashed too much during use. But after knowing that I still had the impression that NX2 was needed so I

    could change the camera controls after I shot. So I bought it off the Nikonmall website. I thought a physical

    version would be sent and the key code was just temporary. But I guess the purchase was only for the key code to

    unlock the trial version.[\quote]

     

    With all do respect. You used the trial version, it didn't work as you would've liked it to, & you still bought

    it. I fail to see how this is Nikon's fault. I don't know of any software company that does returns.

     

    The file you DL'd for the trial version is exactly the same as the Full Version with all the features. The key

    code just let's you use the software indefinitely. You can copy that file to any other computer & enter the key

    code when it asks & use it on the new computer indefinitely.

    Capture NX

    I've been using the new version NX2 to edit photos taken with my D80 & love it. What you are looking for is in the "Develop" area. This is open by default for me. Under "Camera settings", you'll find White Balance, Picture Control(Color Mode, Sharpening, Tone Compensation, & Saturation), & Noise Reduction.

    Capture NX 1.3 Problem!

    in Nikon

    Posted

    I don't know about vers. 1.4, but there is a vers. 1.3.2. These are the issues it fixes.

     

    * Support for RAW images captured with the D60 has been added.

    * When Exposure Compensation was adjusted from Base Adjustments > Exposure Compensation while Picture Control settings were applied from Base Adjustments > Camera Adjustments > Picture Control, the sharpening effect was cancelled. This issue has been resolved.

    * When images captured with the D1 and an AI Fisheye Nikkor 16mm f/2.8D lens, "Fisheye Lens" could not be selected from Base Adjustments> Lens Adjustments. This issue has been resolved.
