Nikon NX2

[fred974]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently a lightroom 3 user.

Is the Nikon NX2 really worth the money or is it just another editing suite?

Also, what are your thoughts on Topaz denoise?

Thank you all

Fred

I have PSE 10 and Capture NX2. The latter came free with my camera. Glad I never had to pay for it. I don't find it at all user friendly.

If you learn to use it then Capture NX2 is well worth the money. The interface is not like the photoshop products so it takes some getting used to but it is a very poweful program that can read all the raw data.
I would download the trial version and then work through some of the examples found on the internet.
Such as Here and and Here.
If you have time these Videos are about Nikon Transfer, View NX2 and Capture NX2 they are not tutorials as such but do explain the capabilities.
