what application are you talking about when you are referring to the thumbnails Glenn?
I use Bridge to look at the thumbs and then right click to pull down Open in Nikon Capture , pretty simply way to do it really, but Nikon View does a good job of displaying the thumbs and there is a slider at the top of the application window to scale the thumbs there
NC is what I'm referring to in this case. Bridge allows me larger thumbnails I've found. However, I didn't realize you could open the files from ACR in NC. I'll have a go at that. That would be really great! Thanks John,
OK, here's something I'm finding incredibly frustrating, so if there's an answer for this I'd like to hear it. Processing an image in NC. I want to set a custom colour temp of 5500K. I start to type and get 55, and then a message pops up on the screen saying I need at least 4192 (or something like that), and I wait forever for it to set the image to that setting. Finally, the last 2 zeroes appear in the window and it goes through the process again of reanalyzing the image while it changes the colour balance. This is what I mean about the program being slow and dodgy. What am I missing here?
That sounds like a slow PC issue to me. I get the same thing if I type two numbers for WB and pause, but if I type four numbers in sequence, it processes it just fine.
What are you running for RAM? Have lots of other programs open? When I work in NC, I typically only have winamp and maybe one internet browser open if that as I'm only running on a gig of RAM.
Glenn, you're activating D-Lighting and then setting the color temp. Do it the other way around, or it will drive you right up the proverbial wall!
I set WB the very first thing, then any exposure adjustments, then D-Lighting, then curves, etc... I found out the hard way that D-Light first really messes up the flow! Anything other than WB or Advanced Raw options seems to work fine after D-Light.
In one of the older versions of NC--I think it was the first that had Image Dust-Off-- trying to use Image Dust-Off with D-Light on would crash NCE everytime on my machine, but since one of the numerous recent upgrades it now works fine.

Thanks guys, that helps . I've got a P4 3 Gig w/1 GB RAM and a Matrox G550 card. Next year is upgrade time.

I’m running a P4 2 GHz processor and a gig of ram and I don’t have your issues with NC. It’s upgrade time for me too, and I think I’m going to build from scratch this time. Should end up with a screamer.
. Thanks John, appreciate the head's up
