p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nikon NX-D Software Beta


Buried in the D4s Announcement Tuesday was the free beta of the next generation of Nikon Processing Software, NX-D. I have downloaded and tried it. I'm really liking the finished product.

It is slow and a little clunky but it looks like a good beginning and Nikon is asking for feedback on the product.

Just FYI.

There is another link there for Windows

if you're expecting Capture NX2-Next Gen, you will be sorely disappointed.

I have been using LR for quite some time so the interface is a bit clunky and slow for sure.

So is it a scaled back version of NX-2?

scaled-back = NO editing capabilities like you're used to

Agree, they stripped out the best parts. Uninstalled it this morning.

While Nikon is really good at designing and manufacturing some really awesome cameras and lenses ... Unfortunately when it comes to post processing software ... Not so much ...

I have always like the quality of RAW processing with Nikon software, though, getting to the finished product can be quite convoluted, painstaking and time consuming to get there. Especially when processing in a medium to high volume workflow environment.

It would be nice if they partnered with some folks who are really good at software development (for more than u-point add-ons) so they could offer something that is more feasible for the task.

Time to abandon the Capture NX2 ship and go to Lightroom or Photoshop....

No U-point control or the ability to load Nik color efex pro plugin as we could in NX2. Although I use LR for most of my batch JPEG editing, I have preferred to use NX2 for NEF editing. This new and improved software from Nikon is an epic failure. I'm growing ever more disappointed in Nikon (and I'm one of the faithful).

I too liked the finished product that I get from NX2.....it just isn't an easy workflow though!

Will the final NX-D release will be free, or is it only the beta?
