When i try to open a image from this into elements it goes through the process of opening elements the little blue circle spins but no picture appears,if i close elements and reopen then go to open recent there is no sign of the image,to sum up it looks to be going through the process but doesn't do it,any ideas please.

I am a bit confused as to what the question is.
1. Are you saying that you processed the image in NX-D and then trying to open it in Elements.
2. Are you trying to use NX-D from within Elements.

As such I use only NX-D and it gives me no trouble. At times it takes time to open up due to
. NX-D will access and sort all the images in the sub directory, the first time it accesses the directory. If it has generated sidecar files it will read them also. That takes a lot of time, especially if there are more than 100 images.
. NX-D does pre processing on the images to display them to the camera settings.
. If NR, Distortion and other operations are set in camera, NX-D will apply them.

Till it has finished all the operations on every file in the sub directory, the blue circle will spin. In view of the initial overhead of this software, it is better to have the files arranged in sub directories. My images are one sub directory per day, but then I rarely shoot more than 100 images per day.

I am just looking around the new version,with the old one i only used it for downloading from the camera and viewing,any image i wanted to work on i would right click and choose open with elements 11,it would open elements and load the picture into it.This version appears to be designed to work the same way because right clicking on the image opens a menu and you can select open with,at this point you also have the option of adding programs you may want to open an image into.
As i say it goes through the process but just doesn't complete it.

Looks like it could be an incompatability with elements,i just added irfanview as an option and it opens the image in that straight away,pleased i didnt remove the older version.

Mike,

Try an alternative.

Designate an "Open With Application" in Tools/Preferences and a "Place Open File With" location.

Once you have done this click on the Button marked APP on the Tool Bar.

This is almost exactly as per CNX2.

Thanks,just done that and it now opens in elements but it opens it in the quick edit rather than raw edit page,it could because its early but i cant see a way to specify raw edit.

Mike,

You are sending a TIFF to Elements.

Why would it open in RAW edit? NX-D is your RAW Converter.

When you said "new version" what was your "old version" which you deleted/removed? Capture NX-2 or View NX-2??

Ah i was using view,i now see where i have gone wrong,will stick with the older view as i like to work in elements and only ever used it for looking through my images.
Thanks
