Only 'downside' in terms of loss of the 'database' is really, only if I lose a file itself. So in effect, my 'cataloging sytem' is Windows' indexing/searching. Photo Gallery(no longer available) work with Windows itself, and in combination with the Nikon's codec, Windows also understands this keyword/tagged info too. It shows me that ITPC info, and catalogs it for me too(bit of a help, but not vital). In VNX2(sometimes CNX-D) any rating and keyword(into ITPC) is saved into the image itself(NEF, I don't shoot jpg). So it seems that the rating system, at least, in Studio is a bit flaky. I just re-installed CNX-D to confirm this too. That is their notion of having embedded the saved edit/info into the original file has changed from previous years. doesn't appear to be the same as what it used too mean.Īny rating made in Studio will not appear in previous software that I've seen. most don't.Īlso, whatever Nikon's new method of embedding into the original file means. It's random too tho, some come up with a rating. Why Studio can't see (pretty much) most of those ratings across so many images. Up to CNX-D and VNXi, all those ratings were saved in the maker section of the exif. Illka, the other weird happening with ratings in Studio that I see pretty much all the time: I have every image that I deem to be worth saving 'rated' in some way, numbers or stars, as has been Nikon's method since day dot. Also must remember to change the link to it in Transfer, as I have transfer set up to open VNX2 upon completion of upload. ![]() then came the official releases and lacked pretty much every editing tool you got used too, and slow and buggy. I recall the beta versions of CNX-D operated very nicely on this old box. I don't doubt that Studio will progress like Nikon's other software ended up doing so. I stopped using CNX-D as soon as I tried Studio for the first time.ĬNX-D on my 7 year old desktop was slow, and they never updated the font sized well enough for a 4K monitor(and not at all in ViewNXi, that I ever saw).Īs I still cling to D800 and earlier cameras for now, CNX2 was still enough for me when I did get to take a photo, and most times VNX2 was enough, with a tweak to picture control/WB/exp/highlight/shadow. it seems to be approximately the amount that Nikon seem to invest in some of their recent software! Yes definitely not free, but if Nikon sold 1 million ILCs in a year, that cost burden on the camera may only be one millionth of a cent!. ![]() thus negating the need for the colour negative entry in the D850's menu. If colour editing was incorporated into the tone curve variables, it would allow for the ability to reverse negatives. set up a website dedicated to Picture Control again where you can download Picture Controls, and make it a community based site where people can create and share their own efforts. Then(as they did back in the D3 - D300 era camera period). I can't imagine why they'd create such a limitation. In the utility, you can reverse luminance, just not colour tones. it was so easy in CNX2 to adjust the tone curve to colour reverse the negative, save that job and use it to batch edit any other negatives I'd digitized. anyhow doesn't matter, if they just outsourced it to a crew that knows how to make software. And more so because it just oozes incompetence from the folks that make the choices that this or that software is now their new push.ĭoes anyone know, or have any hint of who is actually developing Nikon's recent software?. Nikon can do so much more with their Picture Controls. If the PS preferences are deleted PS will create new default preference. I learned to backup my PS preference so I can restore them (over-write the corrupted prefernces) to correct problems. I've had problems with Photoshop where the preference get corrupted and have to be deleted. ![]() In all cases the cache files are recreated as needed. ![]() Again I believe this can fix things in NX Studio if the cache gets corrupted. Delete the cache but do not empty the Recycle/Trash until I'm sure CNX-D is working correctly again. I think this will work for NX Studio as well. Sometimes that helps, sometimes opening the cache folder and manually deleting everything inside it is required. The cache files can be deleted from inside Preference. On occasion I've found locating the Capture NX-D cache files and deleting them helps when CNX-D is acting strangely. Helpful Hint Improve Speed of Processing/Rendering when usingĬapture NX-D (may work for Photoshop as well) Possible Speedup for Capture NX-D on Windows 10. This has something to do with memory compression. I may have tweaked this setting and forgot about it. I tried the following and saw no change, probably no need. I used to have deathly slow response from Capture NX-D.
