Hi, i'm having a go with the new Capture nx-d, and loving it. I was wondering what the best practice for sharpening is? I've noticed there's an unsharp mask tool. I've never come across a tool exactly like it, but i imagine it's similar to Lightroom's sharpening tool (but with masks too)? Is it...

Im talking about View NX 2 here not Capture NX 2 (& with RAW files). I know it adjusts for lens distortion (if the setting is turned on in camera), but i'm unsure about vignetting. I cant see any slider for it, and so if it does correct for it then it must do it automatically?

I'm asking because i have lots of pictures and videos that i have collected of my family for the last few years. They are stored on my PC, & also on an external hard drive and backup DVD's. After doing some research I'm horrified to learn than those storage options are quite unsafe over...

Here's some sample images to show to problem - i assume the settings are visable to view, if not i'll upload the RAW files

I'm curious how it actually works. I have a Nikon D3100 and a fixed Nikon SB400 speedlight. The problem is when i use the flash indoors in the evening my subject (my poor child) always seems to get overexposed by the flash like its throwing too much light on to her. I have 'auto ISO' set to on...

A few months ago I bought a small Nikon SB-400 Speedlight. Recently I've realized i want to buy an on camera softbox/diffuser too (not a small one). So now i need to buy a bigger headed and taller flashgun (probably a Nikon SB-700 when i can afford it). However, they are quite expensive and i...

Has anybody else encountered the same problem? I assume is has something to do with not having the DNG codec. However, on Adobe's website it says their DNG codec only works on Windows 7. Any ideas? P.s Yes i did convert my Nef's to DNG's. I'm beginning to wonder if i did the right thing!

I have a Nikon SB-400 & as you can see it sits pretty low down on the camera. I want to buy some softbox's that sit on the Flash (i want to keep the flash attached to the camera). However, what i'm finding is that most of the good softbox diffusers are a bit too big and would hit the lens...

I thought i would just supply 3 screenshots to show the problem progressing 1) 2) 3) Notice the colour cast that's introduced in screenshot 3 (some NEF's are much worse) I've uploaded the above NEF here if anyone wants to try it out on their system...

I'm using NEF raw files from a Nikon D3100 in Lightroom 4. Lets say for example I import a NEF file into Lightroom and click on 'auto' for white balance. The white balance in the image is adjusted correctly (somewhat). However, if I then change the camera profile (in the camera...

I ask because: In the camera calibration section, the camera profile for Nikon that i like the best is 'camera standard'. However, i often feel it's too strong. Therefore i would prefer to start with 'Adobe standard' and use adjustments to get me near to 'camera standard' but ones where i can...

Ok, my latest thinking: I've bought a universal flash diffuser from a photo shop (see pic) and have used it on my external flash with it pointing directly at my child. I have to admit the images are looking a lot better. The faces no longer have a blown out look to them. The light seems a lot...

- I take mainly photos of my child on my D3100 - Most are just family pics indoors - I obviously need the flash on when indoors - I don't use a tripod as she's on the constant move, lol - I don't like standing too far back & 'zooming in' because camera shake tends to become an issue (as its...

The Lightroom lens profile is for the: Nikon D3100 with AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens. It's only for lens distortions and CA, but not vignetting. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F587D73C02F4DBBB!342&authkey=!AJQkT8g83tzKPj8 Your welcome to test and let me know what you think.

I have a Nikon D3100 with kit lens & also Lightroom 4. I've imported some Raw (NEF) files into Lightroom. I've enabled (ticked) Lens Profile Corrections and is set to auto. Lightroom recognizes my camera make and lens and has a profile for them (the kit lens is a AF-S DX 18-55 mm VR Zoom Lens)...

I use Windows 8 and have noticed it when right clicking on my exported Jpegs and viewing the file properties.

I have bought the following camera: NIKON D3100 DSLR with AF-S DX 18-55 mm VR Zoom Lens. I'm using DxO Optics Pro to develop just the RAW (NEF files). My question is: Even with distortion control turned off in camera (so i can perform it in DxO) there seems to be hardly any lens distortion...

Does anybody know of any tutorials for ViewNX 2 for someone new to the program? (i know how to use Lightroom but I'm a beginner with ViewNX 2). The help file is not that informative and i would really like to know exactly what all those sliders are actually doing, when they should be used etc...
