 Watch out Photoshop July 3, 2008
25 out of 28 found this review helpful
Here I am, a Photoshop user for 7 years and raving about Nikon Capture NX 2. How did this happen? It's Adobe's fault. They sent me looking elsewhere after Bridge CS3 totally crashed on my computer. Bridge is junk software, as one internationally, well recognized Photoshop guru called it in a public forum. He was right.
So, I started looking. I got Capture NX free when I bought a Nikon D300. I tested it, compared it, and liked it. I bought the NX 2 upgrade and I couldn't be happier. Life is much simpler now.
So, what is my workflow? I use NX 2, and, if I need CS3, I use it. But I will not upgrade to CS4. NX 2 doesn't do everything, but if CS disappeared, I'd have no problems except for panoramas...but there are alternatives other than CS3.
Look, Photoshop is geared for designers; Capture NX 2 is geared for photograpers. Adobe, as far as I concerned, is not concerned about software screwups that impact only photograpers. They are big and they are non-responsive.
Finally, I dumped Adobe's Lightroom after testing their Lightroom 2 beta. Much ado about nothing. That's another reason I went for NX 2.
So, if you want to free yourself from Adobe's every-18-month upgrade and make great photos in half the time, go with NX 2.

I own several Nikon cameras including one DSLR and have been using Capture NX for postprocessing work for some time. Capture NX has always represented fair value for the money (by comparison with Photoshop CS3, which triggered significant sticker shock when I priced it.) However, Capture NX wasn't perfect, there were a number of frustrating aspects to it.
I've been using the free trial version of Capture NX2 for two weeks now and I have to say, it fixes most of the problems of the previous version. Simple things like the autoretouch brouch make it much easier to clean up sensor dust spots, something that was a pain in the older version.
I'm still having problems with color profile setup for my HP photo printer, this still seems to be an area that needs work. But I certainly will purchase the upgrade and flip my trial copy to a paid copy when the upgrade option becomes available.
