This is the best tutorial I have encountered. Cudos! Being an old timer coming from film photography, I was totally alienated with all the processing tools. In fact, I just shoot in jpg and save the results. This tutorial has helped me a lot to understand the use and benefit of processing the photos after the shooting.

[@kjteng4571]

This is simply the best guide for nx studio for people who come from capture nx2. Clear n concise.

[@jascarson1714]

I love the linguistic refinements you apply to describe technical terms such as when oversaturating in the colour booster tool it becomes "freaking La La Land" . Your enthusiasm is infectious !

[@Light_Camera_Story]

Thanks. Technical terms are important. But we can relate better with our "daily Language". 😊

[@librasulus]

I have been using Nikon NX Studio for a couple of months now but some of the tools like LCH intimitaded me. Your guide was exactly what I needed to increase my understanding and confidence, thank you!

[@neilmatthews5149]

I have just installed NX Studio and this tutorial has been a great help. Thanks!

My friend I have been a Nikon shooter all my life... I am 65 today, so, I have been Nikon since my grandpa' gave me a Nikon FG in 1984 when I graduated from University in PR. By the way, that camera and lenses still with me today and still shooting my film from time to time... But also have a D500, D750 and Z50 with all the necessary lenses for each camera.... and in all these years I have used NX Studio only few times, I use Photoshop almost all the time, lately I purchase Affinity Pro, but thanks to your video, I have come back to the NX Studio and updated to the latest version.... I have been using it much more now and have to THANK YOU FRIEND....

[@Light_Camera_Story]

Comment like yours are the true inspirational. I appreciate that you shared your story. Please stay healthy.

Most informative video I have seen on KZbin relating to N X Studio simplified various processes thank you.

[@josephalbanese]

I never usually comment on videos like this but I just had to tell you how helpful this video was. Not only going through all the functions and tools of the software but really demonstrating on how the tools can be used. Also your constant admonition to be "subtle" with your changes is the best advice to those new to photo editing. Again very well done and you have earned yourself a new subscriber but I have to now because I want to fire up my NX Studio and start playing.

[@Light_Camera_Story]

Thank you so much. And happy editing 😊

[@peterwilliams6114]

Superb Tutorial - I kind of worked out a lot of how Nikon Studio worked but your full tutorial helped out immensely , lots of very useful information , thank you very much .

[@Macjohn1419]

Your review is spot on. The other reviewers just gloss over NX Studio and point out the negatives. They also stumble over the tools meaning they never really learned to use this software. Most of all they totally overlooked the value of Picture Controls feature. Other expensive software that you mentioned, strips away the Picture Control settings and you literally have to process your photo from scratch. A real pain. Thank you for a truly honest review.

[@Light_Camera_Story]

Most "Well-known" KZbinrs don't praise free and good photo editing softwares. Because, they are free. Free = No Commission. The Picture Control is revolutionary. Its crazy that it's free. Nik Collection and DXO Photolab offers the exact same thing for a premium price. Thank you kindly for your complements. 🙏🏽

Thanks for your complement. Nikon DX Studio is Excellent. It is as good as Nik Collection, DXO photolab 4. For Free. Luckily I Use a Software Called "Silkypix Developper Studio Pro" . Same company made the Software Code for Nikon. So , I am familiar with the Nikon Software. Enjoy, If you stick with Nikon, you don't need to buy any software. 😊

[@plumberski8854]

I used Capture before but switched to GIMP, ON1 Raw for better features and workflow. Your video has opened my eyes to NX Studio, a new brother to Capture. I find it impressive with the basic editing features. I guess magic masking etc is not in NX yet. The beauty of NX is using Nikon raw files! I am using a Z camera. Well done!

[@m.samuel6129]

Thanks, for a great introduction. Maybe you couldanswer a question, once i've edited my photoes, and i try to exsport them, it only exsports the original photo and its not saving the edits. What am i not doing right. Thank you

I would. Because, it is non destructive and you can turn it off or on. But not identical as layer. You can compare it more like DXO Nik Collection.

does the color control point do the same thing as LCH? the only different is that with the control point you can affect a certain point, not the whole image?

[@Light_Camera_Story]

Exactly my friend. But, LCH is excellent. you can see what are you doing. Because, in LCH you have a colour graph. You see, local adjustments is great. I agree. But if you already have a good looking image, then a simple global approach is quicker and efficient. 😊

It doesn't look like there is any way around this, so here's my question, should I continue to use NX studio with the remaining controls or is there alternative free software that would be better?

I edit the photos in this subset folder; primarily cropping and levels and tone curves. When I open the folder in Microsoft file manager it appears none of my edits were saved. I read somewhere that edits are saved in a 'sidecar' and this is what the '.nkse' folder is. What do I need to do to edit my photos, save them in jpeg so that I can upload them to my website and Instagram?

Hi Grant, Thank you for your suggestion and kind compliment. It is a very good question and I am genuinely surprised that I didn't think of it. I actually have a habit of working on individual images. And normally I only edit 3-5 pictures at a time. My suggestion, when you want to apply same WB values in all the photos for example. Save the value in WB section inside the scroll down menu. Then select the other photos and then select the WB from the preset menu. This should help you. Let me know please it that works. Good luck. 😊

[@martinmuehlhoff4404]

Absolute great tutorial !!!! Best in the net right now. Lightroom 6.14 has quited on my MAC no download possible for my purchased download licence and so I will never touch Adobe again even if I have to retag 20+k photos now. Guess Nikon really tries to gain market share with this software freebe - great. One question I have for the expert: How can I filter on ALL photos of a directory including all sub directiries? (like hitting "All photos" first in Lightroom and then set the filters) Thanks man. I have subscribed certainly.

[@Light_Camera_Story]

First of all, thank you for your kind comments and Subscribe. Not just nikon, many camera manufacturers are moving towards different direction. For example, Fujifilm was the first camera company that moved to cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry during the end of the era of Kodak vs Fujifilm. Nikon is also pushing its Optics business for Reading glasses, like Zeiss. Olympus is already dominating medical microscope business, Pentax is trying to change as well. So, it's not Surprising that Nikon is trying to be like Blackmagic. Offer high end software for free to grab hardware business. About filtering questions, I tell you what I do, and take what you can from it. Now, I am old school. I have folders made with Year. Then Month. Then Event or Location. Then each image are renamed with Location or Event + Y-M-Day. Most are done my myself. I also use Photo ExpressViewer software for batch renaming. Then i edit. Let me know if it helps. As you can see, I am old school.

[@martinmuehlhoff4404]

@@Light_Camera_Story Thx Treasure, am old school too. Yes I am also organizing in folders just to be on the save side. But I would like to use the stars and color labels in NX Studio - and therefore would like to filter across a folder AND all including its sub-folders in NX Studio. In LR you choose "all photos" and then set your filters and then get the filtered photos for all folders and sub-folders all together. And I like that. My work around now: In MAC finder I create and store search folders which look for different file formats and abbreviations I include in the photo`s name. NX View offers a great filtering tool too (not mentioned in your video) when you hit the filter and then the little triangle under the index view bottom. So there is that great tool but you have to apply it to each folder separately? Tough to believe, I think... Have a nice weekend! BTW: I saw you traveled Europe B&W. Wonderful. Guess I will find a couple of good photo spot ideas there. Am from Cologne and so in close distance.
