I got Jason Odell's excellent e-book on Capture NX, then NX 2. Why do everything twice in another program? I got Capture NX before I ever shot RAW and have stuck with it ever since, over 2 years now. It is the only program that will preserve all your in-camera settings when you open the NEF file, a big plus. If you use Nikon NEF files, Capture NX 2 gives you the best bang for the buck. given the enormous effort to make the transfer and what, on the surface, appears to be no meaningful advantage.įood for thought!)) Nikon/Apple.are you listening? Not sure Lightroom offers enough for me to switch. In the past, I used Extensis and switched. You can look at my images here and see the outcome of the process. and find it as a very robust and capable software. I have processed in excess of 100,000 images over the last couple of years. Why? All other camera makers would follow suit, and Aperture thus becomes the default RAW converter program, rather than a reverse engineering solution.which is good, but.įood for thought!)) Nikon/Apple.are listening?
CANON SOFTWARE FOR MAC EDIT NEF PLUS
A 5% royality stream off of Aperture, plus a packaging strategy for Nik filters plug into Aperture, for access to the decoding from NX2 seems to me a winner of huge significant. I would prefer Nikon partnering with Apple to generate an unbelievable win/win piece of software. given the enormous effort to make the transfer and what, on the surface, appears to be no meaningful advantage. and find it is a very robust and capable software. Thus my question to you is what is your favorite softwares to process the NEF files with respect to the issues that I raised? If I buy the Nikon Capture software, will it address my two major problems in a cost-effective manner? I could address this by batch convert them so I can walk away to watch TV. In my iMac G5, it takes several min to convert a NEF file to a "good" JPEG.

The second issue is the speed with which it converts files into JPEG. I can live with these since these are very useful, and I can always use PS for more advanced editing. It can only adjust exposure, WB, D-lighting, and saturation.

CANON SOFTWARE FOR MAC EDIT NEF FREE
The first one is obvious for a free software that it is limited in its ability to edit NEF files. While the Nikon free softwares serve me well so far, it does have two major issues. The PS processed files are more subdue in color. I do not like PS because the NEF files that it processes are not as sharp as those cprocessed by the Nikon softwares furthermore, the images processed by Nikon are slightly warmer and more pleasant to look at. I also have two Nikon's free softwares, "Nikon Transfer" and "Nikon View," which can transfer and perform some basic editing to NEF files. So it should just be the same.I have searched a few postings on this matter but did not find a clear answer to my needs so I am posting it with my own perspectives. Thank you all for your suggestions and help!ĭo you think it may have had anything to do with the permissions on the drive/card?

So it seems NX-D needs to have enough storage buffer for it to do edit, and a half-full SD card just doesn't allow it. I copied the NEFs from SD card to another external HD, and from there all files become editable again! Tried the file association thing, but it didn't work.īut I think I have figured out the reason!

I have to do that occasionally after a computer update or installing some new software that steals the nef default opening. Might be worth a try going to File Association and re-set NX-D as your default nef software. Will also try uninstall and reinstall ND-X. I will try copying the file to my Mac and see. I used to edit the files on SD card directly.
CANON SOFTWARE FOR MAC EDIT NEF PC
Has the location of your files changed, I know I cannot edit files on a NAS share but can if copied locally to the PC I can't think of a downside to trying this solution. Since ND-X is free software, perhaps you can uninstall what you have now and do a fresh installation. Thanks JC! No I have not updated or made any change to my Mac. Some cameras, some lenses, some computers Until now I tried to edit the pictures taken two days ago, I can no longer edit, even my pictures taken long before.ĭid you do any change/update/adjustment on your computer recently? Do you have any indication that something else no longer works on your computer? I have been using Capture NX-D to edit my NEFs taken by D500.
