[QUOTE="westmill, post: 62764, member: 9330"] One.... Capture NX2 is a superb program so yes, most deffo a good choice and is far easier to learn than the likes of CS4 etc. First off... are you shooting RAW or JPG ? The first thing you need to do comes up in your box on the right. You can alter exposure, add detail to highlights and bring out detail in shadow areas and alter contrast all from the same place using the slider controls. This would be your first step. This may be all you need for a lot. Then open in unsharp mask and view at 100% to add sharpness. Iou are shooting raw its normaly around 100 + mark... If JPG try about 12. Its all simple indeed once you start playing. Trying to guide you each step of the way is a rather tall order lol. As you say... 270 pages worth :D The hard copy book is very good and detailed and easy to understand though. Just keep playing. The things that are possable is mind bogling. Enjoy :D [/QUOTE]
