No program can adjust exposure (unless you are shooting a tethered camera and controlling it through a computer via software).

iso 800īoth pictures were rendered using camera standard profile. Capture NX2 incorporates a fairly basic parametric editor (similar to what Lightroom does), so it can edit both raw and jpeg data. See for yourselves and tell me what you think. I don't care about the slight color and tone differences. Look at the lady in the background, the noise, the black dots and the artifacts are very noticeable in the left, and the image in the right seems to be neater.

So my question would be: Is Nikon (or google, or whatever) propietary software fooling us and what we think is the raw file we are exporting is none but the sidecar jpeg? Here I attach a test file, no changes made whatsoever in both cases. Then, when I compensate or raise the exposure, that loss of quality is much more perceptible from Capture than from lightroom. Has any other Nikon users tried their new Capture NX-D software I'm still learning my way through it, but so far I cannot see how it is not at least as good as lightroom. I did the same with lightroom, and the result shows a much better quality from lightroom. I've made a test, exporting from capture NXD with active d-lighting turned off, sharpness reset to 0 and no noise reduction.

But then I realised that when converting (exporting) to full quality jpegs from capture nx, the image quality is like a very compressed jpeg, with some artifacts, and I would say, identical to the embedded jpeg that comes attached to raw files. That's the reason I moved to Capture Nx-d, which mantains the settings in camera, especially Active d-lighting, and Lightroom doesn't. I own a d90, and I know that I can't use iso values higher than 800 to keep a reasonable noise amount. When I import a picture that has been taken in low light conditions, Lightroom shows a darker, duller image. It's a great tool, full of capabilities, but one of the main disadvantages I find is that Adobe's own profiles fail to match Nikon's native engineering. I've been using Lightroom as developing software since I started taking photos. If you're willing to spend some money, however, I would recommend Adobe Lightroom 3 as your best choice as it's very powerful while being very friendly to the newcomer.Hello everyone. Anyways, one of the best options here is Raw Therapee which offers a host of features (and I would suggest the beta over the old, but stable version).Īs for myself, I use Photoshop CS5 in general, but I've also used Raw Therapee on machines for which I don't have Photoshop installed. False colors and moir patterns can appear in images when shooting repetitive patterns. Bear in mind that they'll get access to a lot of images over time and Nikon is going to be pretty common. Having said that, it's not so hard and it's generally been done. Now, some open source software also will handle the Nikon NEF format, but it is the case were there's some reverse engineering going on. Nikon Capture vs Lightroom can you tell which is which The good news Adobe Labs just released updated camera profiles for Lightroom. I've tried not to link specific versions, you should generally go with the most recent one. Nikon Capture NX 2 vs Lightroom 3 Beta 2: New Camera Profiles. There are more options as well, but these are amongst the most common.

I'm not a Nikon shooter, but I would seriously doubt that a company like Adobe is left guessing at information in the NEF format as that would mean Nikon wasn't interested in professional work which we all know isn't the case! In general, the following commercial packages are going to handle the NEF format just fine:
