Title: Nikon Capture Upgrade
Post by: Pixart on June 17, 2008, 11:36

Hey Nikon users.  If you don't know already, Capture NX has been upgraded and 60 day trial is available for download.   http://www.capturenx.com/ (http://www.capturenx.com/)

I processed a a soccer team through the new version last night and there's definitely many improvements - although it is still very slow.  This batch of photos was taken late on a very dark evening n overcast night and it helped me brighten up the background a bit quite easily without fussing around.  The control points are also improved.  Why did they release it with it being so * clunky though???  Supposedly takes more than twice as long as Lightroom.

Now, I have 7 more teams to process today so I'm back to it.

Hey thanks!

I use Nikon Capture - version 1.3.3 - and you're right. It is horrendously slow.    >:(  It's even slower with the images I'm getting from my D3.  >:(   >:( 

But I'm sticking with it on the (maybe wrong) principle that Nikon know best how to convert their own RAW files (the NEF format).

I'll download the new version.
