Cost a lot of diskspace, and put's a lot of strain on the computer used for the processing.ĭespite the specs listed for my Macbook Pro, a 100+ MB TIFF already has some impact on the processing speed You can convert (export) a RAW file to a TFF in NX-D, to then continue to further process it in NX2īut with the present high res camera's those TIFF's can easily get as big as 100MB, and more then often even bigger (I dread to think how big a D850 RAW converted to a TIFF will be).
Any corrections are written directly in the file (but with a simple click can be reversed), no side-car stuff where any modifications eg in the RAW file aren't copied when the RAW file is converted/'exported' into eg a JPEG or TIFF. There is a somewhat similar application in the also no longer officially available NIK software, have tried it, but the versipn in Nikon Caplture works bestĪnd of course you can easily keep an 'unaltered' copy of the orginal RAW file, and a eg compressed RAW copy with all the modifications, without creating files that will devour excessive diskspace Very easy to use too for making very local corrections in Contrast, Exposure and Saturation, IMO in that respect much more user friendly then the LR/Photoshop "Clone/Paste Layer' stuffĮasy asy to apply, works fast, and what you do, you immediately see, and get.
IMO a highly capable, if not the best tool for making very local modifications, even despite NX2 being 'slow' when used for Batch processing First and formost the loss of the 'Color Control Points' IHave played aroud with NX-D, even have a copy (I never use) installed on my Macbook Pro, but don't like it for several reasons. The very usefull Raw2Nef program from Rene Bagnon, which allows to using NX 2.4.6 even for the D750/D81/D500 and D5 RAW files, apparently works with that version Which for me is the reason why I haven't udgraded my Oi version, even if its alreay 'old', I see too much advantages in using the 'old' NX2 (in my case 2.4.6) for procssing my D3/D800/DF filesįrom what I've gathered NX2 will still work with Mac El Capitan, I run View NX2 (don't know which version) and Capture NX 2.4.6 without any issues on my Macbook Pro i7 16Gb RAM 752GB SSD using OS 10.8.xxxīut as you say, the last updates for NX2 (and I assume View NX2) are from several years back (I believe you on your word if you say 2015) and don't run (well, if at all, from what I've read) on higher/latest versions Mac Oi like Sierra
