Hi,
New to digital DSLRs. Prior to this I used a Nikon 6006 film camera for years and then a semi point and shoot (Canon S400) for a couple of years.
I finally couldn’t stand beings without a "real" slr and purchased a new Nikon D40X.
I have now discovered that at this time, the adobe RAW
plugin doesn’t support the D40X – hopefully it will in the not too distant future.
So I’m using NiKon Capture NX to work with the RAW file, eventually saving it as a TIFF and continuing to work on it in CS3. I use the DSL light correction in Nikon Capture and then go on to fiddle with other things – which is where I get into trouble.
My system isn’t working too well because I seem to either over-correct or do and undo and do again when I switch
software editing programs.
I’d appreciate any suggestions you can offer as to what I should use Nikon Capture NX for (I need it to convert from RAW), and when I should stop, save as a TIFF, and move to CS3?
Thanks
Louise
