Analysis tool
There have been times in the field where I have had images with
technical difficulties. I can usually fix the issues, but when I get back I sometimes forget what went wrong. I started using Nikon View as an analysis tool. It shows me exactly where I messed up. I have looked at exif readers, but they don't seem to give me as accurate analysis, nor do they show the focus point. I can also make some rough adjustments that will be kept by those images that I want to process in DXO. (If I do any processing in LR, unless I first save as a tiff, DXO will not recognize the adjustments. Just thought i would pass this on to anyone who is interested. -- PeterN |

That will certainly work to give you information of focus point, GPS location, and some other data. However, Bridge, & LR also give you all the metadata you might find useful, with the exception of showing the focus points. So there are times it might be useful for digging out stuff you might have missed elsewhere. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I have been struggling with some of the limitations that you described. Nikon shows it's dominance yet again, apparently. I will definitely be looking into that product. (( {:-/ |

I don't have to do a right click and select. -- PeterN |

I don't currently own any Nikon cameras, but have always admired them. Guess it's high time to finally get Nikoned up! (( {:-/ |

Canon also provides a very good primary photo editor, Digital Photo Professional, free with its serious cameras. Along with the usual light balance and sharpness adjustments, cropping and rotational correction, etc., DPP (unlike LR) also displays the autofocus points. And if you need more, you can always feed its output into a secondary editor. (It doesn't do redeye correction, for example; so when I need that, I use Irfanview after the conversion to JPEG.) And I believe, although I'm too lazy to look it up, that DPP may provide a direct path to ACR without intermediate conversion to TIFF or JPEG. For all I know, other manufacturers (Sony? Olumpus? Pentax?) may also provide similar viewing and editing utilities. Bob |
