d80 CUSTOM TONE CURVES
Thanks Rita for the reply, but your solution is difficult. I bought
the D80 in the US and now am in Africa long-term on a variety of shoots. I don't have whatever Nikon software you're suggesting to use and I don't even know how to get it - somehow I've managed to never need Nikon softare, thanks to Adobe. Also, I need just one curve to fix the problem and I would prefer not to have to learn a whole new software just to do this. You know if someone has created these curves already and has them online for download? Seems like this D80 problem is so ubiquitous that some kind soul out there will do the right thing and put these out there.

This guy has a variety of curves, maybe the one you need: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...ssage=11239112 On Nov 7, 10:41 pm, Rita Ä Berkowitz ritaberk2O04 @aol.com wrote: spydersweb34 wrote: is there are place where I can download free custom tone curves to fix the funky midtone briteness on my Nikon D80? seems like Nikon should be providing this to us free since it's their problem...

Seems like this D80 problem is so ubiquitous that some kind soul out there will do the right thing and put these out there. MErci, Thomas I have read in other NG's that this is common in the D80 matrix meter. On the Nikonian website they often refer to Thom Hogan's take on the subject. His review is here, http://www.bythom.com/d80review.htm He did have some curves included with his D200 eBook, perhaps he has some available in his D80 eBook. I have tried curves on my D200 from here, http://fotogenetic.dearingfilm.com/ They were okay, but I later did some modifications. You will need Nikon software to load the curves into your camera and to modify them to suit your own tastes. Camera Control Pro is needed. It was originally part of Nikon Capture, but I don't think Capture supports the D80. |
