Nikon have got it right!!

I have never been a great fan of Nikon software but I have to admit that NX 1.1 (on Mac) is fast and furious - an amazing program that lifts Nikon into the spotlight.

The following pic (not a good one) was processed through NX 1.1 and then converted to sRGB and resized in CS3.

Sounds like I'll have to revisit Nikon Capture - the previous versions of NC 4 were a real dog on a Mac, which I put down to nothing more than just awful code optimisation in NC.

Aside, thats a great image - it's popping out of the background!
At an educated guess, that's from the D2hs - it's got some signature D2H colour/noise rendering happening :D (a good thing!)

Does anyone know if Nikon fixed up the very tedious and frustrating workflow with NX?

I remember when I trialed NX, the 'save-as' does not seem to save the last destination and setting, have to do them manually and that sucked big time.

Then the multi-image browser is not as effective as was in NC4.4 as I get to browse through things quickly and do my work quickly.

If they haven't fixed that up, I'll simply stick to NC4.4 for the sake of my own taste. :evil:

Great shot too - I have no idea what cancer looks like but this could be a microscopic cancer cell growing!
