Hello everyone
After using my trusted and still working F601QD for nearly 14 years, I have just received my first D-SLR NIKON D90 and bought the NIKON AF-D 18-55G DX VR lens separately.
Now as till now all my processing requirements were in the hands of the Lab technicians, I had no need to worry and devoted all my energy behind getting the photo right in the camera. I know very well that now the Darkroom is replaced by the PC and I am the technician who needs to toil in front of the monitor to get the result right.
Now here starts my trouble. I need a little help regarding which things I need to fix and in what order. Please note that I still try to get the result right in the first time (which I humbly admit being an impossible task- almost at least), and by this statement I mean that I do not want to completely change a photo of a pig to an elephant and vice-versa.
There is one more thing that I need to know, and that is how can I achieve/apply the graduated filter effect (in CNX2) that we film shooters use very often. But alas, I am not really sure how to do it to get the desired result in PP.
Please note that I am using NIKON's Capture NX2 and would be of great help to me if the answers/helps are offered in the relation to this program.
(I've already searched Google , but I felt quite lost in so many info and frankly speaking being a PP novice I need a more structured guidance to this whole matter).
Hope that members here would be kind enough to help me out.
Thank you.
