On our test machine (a MacBook Pro with 8Gb RAM) it frequently freezes, despite being regularly updated to the latest version.
It can make the shots from your camera look as good as possible, but it's not an image editor in the sense that Photoshop is. It is limited, then, but its key advantage is that it precisely replicates the Picture Controls, white balance and tonal controls of your Nikon – and you don't get that with third-party raw converters.Ĭapture NX-D can carry out sophisticated and wide-ranging adjustments, from automatic lens corrections (with Nikon lenses) to subtle selective colour shifts.īut that's as far as it goes. VerdictĬapture NX-D doesn't have any cataloguing tools and you can't create localised adjustments. Converted images can be saved with new filenames in new folders if you like. That’s because it is hard to process each piece of proprietary data, which is subject to change from one camera model to another.
NIKON CAPTURE NX D VS LIGHTROOM FULL
You can use Capture NX-D's batch processing option to convert a whole folder full of images with a single set of adjustment parameters for all of them, or with individual adjustments you've already applied to each one. Unless you use Nikon-provided software like Capture NX or View NX, all of those custom settings are mostly discarded by third party applications, including Lightroom and Photoshop. You don't have to edit and convert your images individually.
They only become permanent if you use the Convert files button to create a new JPEG or TIFF image with the adjustments applied. Its adjustments are stored simply as processing instructions in files stored alongside your photos. Like other raw conversion programs, Capture NX-D does not make changes to your original raw files, or any JPEG images you've shot, for that matter. Capture NX-D can browse your image folders but it won't replace a proper cataloguing application.
