Nikon Capture NX trial released - PhotoCamel

Latinbob · 07-07-2006

Nikon has made the trial version of Capture NX available this morning. http://support.nikontech.com/cgi-bin...php?p_faqid=61

I'm downloading it now, and so are millions of others, so the download is slow!

Latinbob · 07-09-2006

Well I have played with it for a few days and I still don't know what I think about it. Has anyone else that uses Capture 4 given it a try? I'd be interested to hear what others think about NX.

Runs on my laptop (actually it crawls); doesn't run at all on my desktop. Control pointes might be a good idea, but the app runs too slowly to tell.

You know I keep reading about this being slow, but I have not seen that. Seems to run just fine on my Dell.

The control points take a little bit of learning, still figuring the things out myself, but what I have done makes sense and with a little more use should be kinda kewl.

Not a replacement for CS2 by no means, but I shoot nothing but raw and I like what I have seen so far, heck of a lot more control.

I think the next iteration or patch will see more improvements. One thing I have seen on the web is everyone seems confused about the .NET thing, if running XP SP2 you have the frame work installed already. So download the small version of NX.

Forgot, one thing I did notice is that when I turned off my virus protection software this seemed to speed up a little more. Now this could be just a fluke thing my virus software sucks anyway

NX runs a lot slower than PS. Works well for my RAW files. One irritating thing, NX set itself as the default picture viewer on download. I had to go in and reassociate JPEG files.

Just downloaded the installer. Will give it a go sometime soon, as I have 5 GB of NEFs to take care of.
