[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 62755, member: 9556"] Hi all you nikonites I desperately need some help. I just recently decided i had enough time learning about my D5100 and shot a few pics & it was time to learn to 'process' these photos. So there i was already in a dilemma as to where to start with the dozens of programs out there. with users of each saying why their preferred software is... well, better.. After a lot of reads, i got nowhere. So i decided to download the trial version of Capture NX2 to see what it was all about.. and that's when things started flying above my head. i ain't a computer noob & i can handle my way around, but this was like some alien program to me. To put things in perspective, i only started with a camera this year. Never shot fotos even with a point and shoot or my fone cam. so, i haven't the foggiest idea about processing a photo & what it involves... i would be really happy if anyone can help me with the following 3 questions- 1) Is capture nx2 the software to go to? Considering me still taking baby steps in the world of photography, is this a good place to start? Cos i can't find any good material for absolute beginners like me. All the you tube vids assume you to have at [I]least [/I]basic knowledge in post processing. The capture nx 2 manual is not really helpful either. and its 270 pages. The Nikon official videos are good, but again the first steps to be taken seem to be a 'do it yourself' feature. I have seen loads of tutorials for lightroom, photoshop etc. so... should i change my starting point? 2) Any links to videos or pdf's that can help in getting started with the above? 3) what are the [I]things [/I]i need to do as standard once i have transferred the files over to my PC? I mean, what does post processing entail. i would be HUGELY grateful if you could provide me the steps... 4) anything else you think would help! as am sure you understand by reading my post above, i am a total beginner in photography & even more in processing... and for the love of life i can't find the starting point... so please be kind :) anything you suggest is very welcome.. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
