New Camera, New Approach

For obvious reasons, ACR can't read picture controls off the d300, and i dislike the fact that i have to open yet another program in order to convert RAW to jpeg.

So i'm stuck with leaving the whole thing on neutral anyway and PPing later.

How does it look?

Sorry but I’ve absolutely no idea what you are trying to say. If you use Bridge to view the NEF you will see a full EXIF data readout, including ACR, before conversion. ACR is integral to Photoshop and as such you are only opening one program if proceeding via Bridge.

Maybe you could explain in more detail

ACR can't read Nikon's Picture Control headers in the .NEF file, so any settings i make in picture controls don't get translated over to camera RAW.

If i wanted the settings i fiddled with in the camera to apply, i'd need to go to NX and then move it over to CS3.

Much clearer - thanks. I only shoot RAW and so Picture Control does not come within my shooting folio. If you shoot jpeg then maybe, just maybe, it could have some benefits.

Shooting RAW makes Picture Control obsolete.
