Positives include: great quick Nikon color and tone curves for nef files without messing around like you will in all Adobe products fairly quick and nimble if you know how to use the program well and don't zoom to 100% to double check your noise reduction or sharpening settings. When you wish to edit, select the thumbnail and then click the NX-D button to open Capture NX-D to do most of the important editing that Capture NX-2 did previously. Use ViewNX-i to view, cull, sort, look at camera data, etc.
#CAPTURE NX D VS NX STUDIO SOFTWARE#
Most software have lots of shortcomings, including Adobe products so this post is some kind of emotional overreaction with limited understanding of the product they are commenting on.Ĭapture NX-D teamed up with ViewNX-i works very well. that is the correct word to describe nikon's software.Ĭapture NX-D is Nikon's free editor, its pretty much a waste of time.Ĭapture NX-2 is Nikon's old photo editor which don't work with Nikon's current line-up unless you convert file types, its still around for a price but. Nikon software for editing sucks View NX-I is really good at rating/cherry picking the keepers to send into LR If I had the spare cash I'd probably buy Lightroom. I go between CaptureNX-D and Photoshop depending on the task and my mood.

I've never installed ViewNX-i since Capture is free now.but Capture is buggy as hell and the interface is a bit rough around the edges. CaptureNX-D and ViewNX-i were released as replacements, developed by Silkypix. But do not support files from cameras newer than.I want to say around 2012?Īfter Google bought up Nik software, Nikon had to find a new developer. Both pieces of software were developed by Nik software using their control point technology and were excellent. ViewNX was bundled but still capable of developing RAW. CaptureNX was much more powerful for editing but came at a price. Nikon CaptureNX2 and ViewNX2 was Nikon's developer/file manger software suite. But I haven't updated since.wouldn't be surprised if they'd decided to retire it. It continues to work for me on CS 6 I had to do this to open RAWs from a J5 recently about a year ago. If you download the Adobe Camera RAW updates I think you should be able to simply import the RAWs from your Nikon camera into Photoshop directly via ACR? Best if I can convert to DNG so I can use with my PS CS4. What i am looking for is a lightroom equivalent. So what are all these Nikon software? ViewNX-i, ViewNX 2, Capture NX-D, and Capture NX 2?
