Nikon View and CaptureAs evidenced by previous blogs I'm an Acdsee over Lightroom kinda guy. Although, lately i haven't been thrilled with color management in Acdsee. I got a new Nikon d7000 which came with Nikon View. My camera's always come with Nikon View, I was an Acdsee guy, I didn't need View. This past weekend I tried View.... interesting. No library's required (I hate library's and catalogues). As I tested and read, I also downloaded a trial of Capture. So it seemed I had a whole suite of Nikon products to play with; Transfer, View and Capture. Transfer seemed simple and straight forward. It got my pics where I wanted them without libraries or catalogues. I could view and delete before or after downloading. I could make basic adjustments to the raw files. So far so good. Also, shooting a Nikon and using Nikon software meant many of my camera settings ie colorspace transferred right over. With a my monitor freshly calibrated I was good to go. The first batch of pics went from camera to Transfer to View to my website like I had been using the software forever. I clicked on everything and watched a couple of youtube videos (not a fan of reading instructions unless absolutely necessary). I'm sure I'll get better, find more tricks and get a comfortable workflow as I go. I'll update on that as it happens. I watched a couple of basic videos and started playing around with Capture. I thought, what will I use this for I use photoshop. I gotta tell you control points are pretty cool! I need practice and I don't think I'll stop using photoshop, but this Nikon stuff seems pretty powerful and easy to use!
