I will definitely be keeping an eye on the Nikon software though. Very interesting. Unfortunately NX-Studio can't open these files. I bake changes into 'developed' tif files and leave the original raw files alone. There's comfort in knowing that the raw file is always there, pristine and unchanged, whatever I might do to bugger things up. Also, Highlights recovery and Shadow Brightness tool is great. I recommend. For videos I use other applications.
I agree. Got the free manufacturer-specific version with my Lumix and eventually paid for the all-format license. It's not a slick product from the UI point of view but very powerful in terms of image manipulation. I especially appreciate their informative and straightforward browser-based help system that downloads as a single file. IMHO, this is a great approach: develop an engine available to all manufacturers for 'free' distribution with support only for their specific RAW format and then sell the same thing with universal support.
I appreciate not having to learn something new for each camera brand and not paying subscription fees. I would say it is better in many ways, but as far as I remember NX2 has a little more advanced control points. I wish it had NX2 selection brush where you could edit select part of the image without affecting the rest of the image. I suppose 'lasso' selection has gone too My first impression of this software was the colors. It is very good converting Nikon RAW files. And most of the Lightroom features are also in it.
It will take some time to get used to using but it seems easier to use compared to Rawtherapee and Darktable Great job Nikon for this free software. Search function for file info IPTC is case sensitive? When searching in my folder for "modellMC" I get no hits. So if I tag a picture with subject "Steven Andersson" the search "steven andersson" will get no results. Is there a fix or am I missing something? To reiterate a critical flaw someone noticed earlier in this thread, you cannot export directly into, in my case, Photoshop as a TIF.
I wouldn't call that very critical. But you are right this worked in NX-D, so it should work here as well. I absolutely agree with Mr. Currently Canon and Adobe LR 6. The Nikon Z mm F2. With a versatile focal length range and a fast aperture for low light photography and blurry backgrounds, this lens promises sharp imagery and smooth bokeh with minimal aberrations. How does it actually perform?

Best cameras and lenses. Now reading: Review: Nikon NX Studio answers our plea for a free, all-in-one editing app comments. Introduction Nikon NX Studio version 1. Key takeaways: NX Studio comes with a modern, approachable UI Keywording and GPS tagging are now supported Allows for movie playback and light editing Image quality and performance are broadly similar to predecessors; convenience in a single package is the reason to upgrade A cleaner, friendlier, more modern user interface The user interface is aesthetically similar to that of both earlier apps, but it's now cleaner, friendlier and more standards compliant than before.
Few and minor drawbacks to the new interface There are relatively few downsides to the new UI. You can't undock panels any more, but you can customize the workspace with user-selected palettes to match your own workflow The navigation panel, folders and albums controls are all fixed at screen left, while the histogram, adjustments, EXIF information and keywording tools sit at the right of the screen.
Keyword your images manually or based on location Given that ViewNX-i had a rather abbreviated selection of editing controls, I'd wager most users will be migrating from Capture NX-D. View your images and track logs on the map Speaking of the map view, that's another new addition, and it allows you to see geotagged images from your currently-selected folder or album on an interactive world map. The new Map view can pinpoint the location and capture direction of individual photos, show GPS track logs and automatically geotag your images from the tracks.
Play movies and perform basic editing tasks Another new addition is support for movies, both in terms of playback and basic editing. You can now view and perform basic editing on movies in-app, but you'll need a beefy processor and GPU if you want to do so with ultra high-def footage.
You can also play basic slideshows in-app, but there are only three transition types to choose from, and you'll need to supply any background music yourself. Performance is similar to both predecessors As for performance, which was already a strong point of Nikon's software compared to that provided by many manufacturers, things are also pretty similar to before.
A few bugs, but that's to be expected in a brand-new app In my time with Nikon NX Studio, I've found it to be very stable, but that's not to say it's perfect, nor would I expect a brand-new app to be.
Performance and image quality are very similar to those of its predecessors, and there are thankfully only a few minor bugs Firstly, there's still an issue with detecting dragging of the right-panel scroll bar, regardless of whether the program is running maximized or not.

JRPhotography1 Good new Software, but it needs refinement! I'll wait, while I'm continuing using C1. Bad Bokeh So far, it has crashed on my Win 10 PC several times, and it often refuses to actually execute things like Retouch. Not even close. AMD x 32gigs and nvme ssd. NikonMarlowe Hi. NikonMarlowe Update. Digital Tyke Yes but you cannot specify the required file type.
Janet Zinn yes I just discovered this and its a deal-breaker for me. RolMan Would not consider it a deal breaker, but agree that it complicates the workflow. RolMan Another issue I found is noise reduction.
AhjayPee Looked good for a couple of days but now constantly crashing my Windows 10 machine with 'Page Fault in non-paged area' - very disappointed :. Urbex Mark Anyone know of a way to have something similar to the Photo Tray with this new program? Nukunukoo Using it, and colour me impressed! Urbex Mark So I notice the Photo tray is gone. GiovanniB Keywording look rather rudimentary. SwapM I like the Focus Points info.. James Grove Oh its also great to see that data and edits can be placed directly into the raw file rather than side car.
James Grove Its actually really good, I am pretty impressed with it, much better than having separate software for separate tasks. User Good to see this and great for Nikon owners who don't want to pay for additional software.
Regards, Philippe. JochenIs You can put the location information by clicking on the location on a map or you can use a gpx track and the software can automatically extract the location information for all images in the folder.
JochenIs Ah my mistake then. NikonMan09 I would like to see the ability to add watermarks upon export in a future update in this program. MaxMoritz Unfortunately again not thought to the end: - do not display more than 4 images at the same time - no simultaneous resizing of the selected images in the viewer - no catalog for quick display with reduced image size like Media Pro.
PeterjmTim Thanks for another great review Mike. M Lammerse Silkypix is the only other soft which gives you the exact camera settings as in Capture Studio.
