[QUOTE="paul_b, post: 176660, member: 15676"] There are a few things I'm unsure about with ViewNX 2 and is why i wanted to read/watch a good tutorial: 1) When you have an image that overall is a bit too dark and want to brighten it: What is the difference between the exposure compensation slider and the brightness slider? Which should be used for what and when? Or should i just use the D-lighting slider? 2) When in Lightroom and you increase exposure you throw out the contrast and so also have to adjust the contrast too. Do you need to adjust contrast in ViewNX 2 after increasing any of the exposure or brightness or D-Lighting sliders by themselves? 3) How do i set my black point? i.e the equivalent of the blacks slider in Lighroom? P.s I'm buying my first Nikon next week, and i'm just experimenting with ViewNX 2 first with some test NEF's. I'm so looking forward to buying the camera :) (D3200). [/QUOTE]
