Hi Guys
Soon to be a new switcher here, (from dead windows to iMac)
I currently use Nikon Capture NX2 for all my image processing
I only shoot raw and only convert to jpeg when I need to export to the net or send off for printing
As a lot of you would be aware, after some years slip by, the management of large numbers of files starts to be an enormous task,
So, have been doing a lot research on Aperture for cataloging
My research has raised some concerns with retaining how my images will look after import to Aperture
Apparently, after I import images into Aperture, the images will not look the same as I had viewed in Capture NX2 or ViewNX 2 either
This is not the end of the world I guess as I now have a cataloging program managing my image files
Now the questions
If I have trouble using the presets and adjustments in Aperture to get the "look" I want, can I just export out of aperture to do adjustments in CaptureNX2 ?
Apparently, I can do this but If I re-import the edited file back to Aperture, I will not "see" the edits as Aperture cannot read all the Nikon edits?
The other question here is that if I import this CNX2 edited file back into Aperture, will all the CNX2 edits in this NEF file remain the same? If so, I'm happy with that, at least I can export back to CNX2 if I want to view the Nikon edits and perhaps send it off as a jpeg that I know will print OK
Finally, I guess the aim is to establish presets that work eventually,
At least if I can just have the Aperture management and still be able to access my "original" NEF files for CNX2, that would be good
Regards,
Gary
