Default Capture NX

Can you use Capture NX with a D700 .NEF file, when you have the
Capture NX2 trial on the same computer? I tried and I get a message
saying that it cannot load the file but I can still load .NEF files
created by the D300.

Capture NX is not compatible with D700 .nef files. Development and
updates of NX ended with the release of NX2, which predated D700.


NX IS compatible with your D300.


NX2 is well worth the price of the upgrade. I also own D700 and
D300 bodies, and use NX2 almost exclusively. Clean, handles well,
with a small, but quickly assimilated learning curve.

If NX is no longer being updated, what should be used in its place?
(For now, with my D3.)

There's a hack program he
http://home.comcast.net/~nikond70/Do...k/D700Hack.htm
that changes the model number in the header of the D700 nef files to D3,
so they should open with Capture NX 1.**

I haven't tried this. Back up any nef file before trying.

There are a few changes/improvements with NX2. Batch processing is
/much/ faster. Integration with View NX is better. An upgrade version
rather than full should still be available, even if the version of NX
1.** you have came free with the D300.

If I upgraded to NX2, would I still be able to use the
numerous Settings Files I generated with NX?

Thanks,
Mike.

Just out of curiosity, is it still based on .net software?

Good question. Nikon's website has a trial version of NX 2
available for download. Go for it. All your questions will be
answered with direct hands-on.

Can NX2 coexist on a system with NX, or will it delete the old version?

I'm sure that may depend on your system. Under Windows, you have
the opportunity to put the trial software in a different directory
than the existing version.

I"m using Apples, and it's not been a problem under OS X. Tiger
or Leopard.
