In addition to yesterday’s entry if you want to read more about the pro’s and con’s of Capture NX2, have a look at these 2 blogs. The first is by Thom Hogan, a well respected Nikon follower and author of many books. He dropped Capture NX2 off of his list of favourite software products. Read here why (scroll down to the commentary on Conversion of July 28). The second one is by Jason Odell. Also a Nikon follower and author of a number of books on Capture NX2 and Nik Software products. Read here why he’s using NX2 and what he believes are necessary updates to make Capture NX2 state-of-the-art again.
I can’t emphasize enough, though that this is all about editing tools. Real and proper photographers use their cameras to create effects. That is, they see a situation, then think about how they’re going to shoot it and then they press the release button. Therefore, the real tools are aperture values, shutter speeds, ISO values, lenses with different focal lengths, lighting, camera position and so on. You get my drift, I guess.
