I recommend the Copper Hill method. Before We all have shots where our subject looks like the devil with red eyes. Use them in the situations where they are warranted. Obviously, if your horizon is level in the image then using the straighten tool makes little sense. Use the Straighten tool to correct tilted images.

Drag the Straighten Tool across the horizon line or other reference point. Some lenses, especially super-zoom lenses and wide-angle lenses, will produce images with slight distortions. You can use the Distortion Control Tool in Capture NX2 to correct distortions in your images caused by lens aberrations. Note that white areas appear around the image. You can change the fill color using the Fill color tool in the Edit Step.

Drag the slider to the right to correct barrel distortion. One way to use the Crop Tool is to help improve your compositions. Remember, the Crop Tool does not resize your image. Use constrained cropping to maintain a particular aspect ratio for your image. Use the in your image. As anchor points on the corners and sides of the crop frame to resize it. Click the Enter key on your keyboard or double- click inside the crop area to set the crop. You can remove a crop at any time by deleting the crop step from the Edit List.

Not to worry; the effect will stay applied in exactly the same place you originally put the Control Point. Warning: Placing Control Points after cropping If you place a Control Point on your image after you have cropped it, and then later decide to delete the Crop Edit Step, the Control Point will not only move in your image, but its effect will be replotted, as well. I strongly encourage you to crop after all Control Points have been added to your image to avoid issues.

In addition, if you install 3rd- party filters, like Nik Color Efex Pro, these items will be displayed in the Filter Menu. This of course allows you to apply Filter Effects globally or locally. This filter will darken the complementary color to the color you choose. For example, a yellow filter will darken blues in your image and lighten yellows. This is a filter that I use very little, if at all.

Colorize Use the colorize filter to overlay colors onto the image. Use the color selector or eyedropper tool from the Colorize tool to choose the desired color. Black and White Conversion Use this filter to convert color images to black and white. The filter option works in the same way as the filters in the monochrome settings in Picture Control.

These filters will show up in the Filter Menu, and are also applied in Edit Steps. The filter options you see will depend on the version of Color Efex you have installed. By now, you have probably noticed that when you disable in-camera sharpening in Picture Control, your image looks quite soft.

In Capture Sharpening, you need to consider our camera. Second, you must also consider our subject matter. Output Sharpening happens as the very last step in the output stage of your workflow and takes into consideration the size and destination of your image. A small image destined for the web will be sharpened much differently than a 16x20 inkjet print. Capture and Output Sharpening are applied as global adjustments. In between the two sharpening steps, it is an option to perform some selective sharpening or blurring of our image to get a desired effect.

Noise Removal Depending on your camera and how you use it, noise may or may not be an issue. Every camera manufacturer has its own approach to noise removal, but one thing is constant; removing noise can cause a loss of fine detail in images.

Your sharpening settings will be impacted by any noise removal settings you use, because these two processes are effectively working against each other. Therefore, it is important to be able to adjust sharpening settings in the context of noise removal.

In my opinion, leaving noise removal up to the photographer is a good thing. If you plan on using any of these programs some of which are quite good , do not sharpen your image at all, and do all your noise reduction and final output sharpening in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

First, it provides excellent control over image sharpness. Second, Capture NX2 automatically applies USM only to the luminosity channel of your image, reducing the appearance of color shifts and other artifacts. The third, and possibly nicest feature of sharpening in Capture NX2 is the fact that sharpening becomes a non-destructive process.

While there are ways to sharpen non-destructively in Photoshop, those techniques are far more complicated and require bitmap layers that can easily double the image file size. Think of it as a master volume control for USM.

Radius: This slider changes the distance over which the USM effect is applied. A small radius sharpens fine detail, a large radius sharpens overall shape. Threshold: The threshold slider adjusts the sensitivity of the USM tool to differences in tone values between adjacent pixels. The value you enter is the number of tonal steps that any two adjacent pixels must differ by in order to be affected by the tool.

A threshold of 0 would sharpen just about anything in the image; a threshold of would sharpen almost nothing. Make sure Picture Control sharpening is set to zero 0. Clockwise and then adjust the from top left: No sharpening applied; over-sharpened image; proper Capture intensity slider to get Sharpening.

That to your hard drive and way, I can quickly choose between Neutral, Standard, and then use the Manage Vivid presets from the batch icon and turn off sharpening at Settings tool from the NX2 preferences options to the same time. Settings files can only be opened from within Capture NX2 when an image is active in the Edit Window. Another sharpening technique uses the High- Pass filter to enhance image contrast.

To apply high-pass sharpening: 1 Open an image file. Your image will turn gray. NR blurs noise, sharpening enhances noise. Noise starts to appear in images as you increase the ISO setting in your camera. Different sensors have different noise qualities, but in general, noise can occur in either the chrominance color part of your image or the luminance detail part of your image.

Note the mild chrominance color noise and moderate luminance noise grain. The quality setting will greatly impact the amount of time it takes to process the Noise Reduction filter. The two adjustment sliders seem simple enough: Intensity and Sharpness. The sharpness slider works by restoring detail in the luminosity channel, while the Intensity slider blurs both color and detail.

People obsess about noise and noise reduction. I suggest that Noise Reduction be applied sparingly. Consider that just about every digital camera on the market today provides images that are significantly cleaner than film ever was, even at high ISOs.

When should you use Noise Reduction? When can you skip Noise Reduction? If you apply NR to your image, consider using a lower amount of USM, with a higher radius and threshold than you would normally use. This setting will help prevent your USM step from re-sharpening all the noise you just tried to remove!

Intensity is on the left side of the table, and sharpness 5 settings are listed at the top. The intensity slider functions to blur image data, especially in the chrominance color channels, which helps to 10 remove the appearance of noise. The sharpness slider reduces the blur from the intensity slider, but it does so primarily from the luminosity channel.

The trade off of most NR tools is that it is easy to remove color chrominance noise 25 without harming image sharpness; if there is luminance noise grain , removing it destroys detail significantly. Usually, there are areas in images that have detail we wish to preserve, and other areas which are out of focus or where sharpness is not critical, like skies.

Make sure sharpening is turned off and that you have not performed any sharpening on the image. Adjust the intensity slider so that the color noise is removed. The image will look smeared.

Optional: Selection Control Points are very useful for adding NR to skies at a strong level Use the Opacity Mixer to reduce Luminance opacity until the while leaving the rest of image has detail again. Note the chrominance and luminance noise. Sharpening will tend to counteract this blur. You may want to reduce the radius slightly if you get major halos in the image.

Adding noise reduction is always at the expense of some image detail, so use it sparingly. Nikon D2Xs, For more on versions, refer to page Typically, that means making a print, but sometimes it means making a small JPEG for the web, or an image that I can send to friends or clients via email.

How you optimize your image for its final output depends on the size and quality of the image, as well as its final destination. Most often, I resize my images for printing them without cropping them first. That is, I keep the image in its native aspect ratio and either make the image smaller or larger, depending on the print size.

There are two methods for resizing images: resizing while resampling and resizing without resampling. Resampling allows you to set the image resolution by interpolation while also scaling the image. When you use resampling, the dimensions of the image, in pixels, changes and the file size will increase or decrease. Resizing without resampling will keep the pixel dimensions and file size constant; resolution will change depending on the size you make the image.

The method that you choose will depend on the final output size and destination of your image. The other side of the image will be adjusted proportionally. Resizing without resampling will change the image resolution but keep the file size in pixels the same as the original.

Resizing with Resampling will allow the File Size to grow or shrink, depending on the image size. Note that the original The most common use of the Crop Tool is to produce an image that has a particular aspect ratio.

Common picture frames, however, come in the aspect ratio 8x10, 16x Set the aspect ratio to 8x Use portrait orientation for vertical shots; landscape orientation for horizontals. The other field will scale to 8 inches. This is why you need to combine a crop with a resize step in Capture NX2. Before you try this technique, it is critical that you have a calibrated monitor and you have installed the paper color profiles for your printer.

The toughest part about soft-proofing is remembering out what the original image looked like. This technique is a great way to ensure the best possible soft-proofs. This creates a copy of your image. At least I can be ready for that when I go to print the from the Target Profile image! Choose either relative colorimetric or perceptual rendering whichever you think looks best. Make sure black- point compensation is enabled. Understand that in some cases, a perfect match may not be possible due to the gamut color space of your printer.

To overcome the sharpness loss when printing, I recommend another round of sharpening, often referred to as Output Sharpening. As a general rule, an image properly sharpened for print will appear to be over-sharpened on the screen.

This will add a High Pass filter into the open Edit Step. When you are saving an image for the Web or email, you need to make it smaller and convert it to the sRGB color space.

This procedure will do just that. Use relative colorimetric intent and black point compensation checked. The print dialog will open. Otherwise, Capture NX2 will try to scale the image to fit the paper. This will allow Capture NX2 to control the color settings. Higher quality settings result in a larger file size. In the JPEG save options dialog, you can set the compression amount to vary file size.

You can change this directory in the Capture NX2 preferences. Use the Open With Certainly, Capture NX2 puts a tremendous number of tools at your disposal. The other way to speed up image processing in Capture NX2 is to take advantage of its automated presets.

Other images require special handling, but the majority of my editing steps happen in mere seconds. In just one or two clicks of my mouse, I can apply Edit Steps that contain my most commonly used adjustments. The Save Settings dialog box will open.

I save my settings to the default location. Check the box next to the step you want to save. Make sure all the other steps are unchecked. This is useful for making changes to Picture Control Settings without having to expand the Develop Section.

Make sure this is the only option selected, unless you want to save other parameters. You can access all your saved settings from the Batch Icon in the Edit List. All you need to do then is make the adjustments to the Edit Steps as you see fit. The Settings preferences dialog will open. Note: If you move the location of a Settings File, it will no longer appear in the list. This will permanently delete the file from your computer, so use this option with care!

By using the versions tool, you can store multiple instruction sets for each NEF. For example, you can save different crops, different image sizes, or different processing effects into a single NEF.

Look for blue text to link you back to pages in Section I where you can refresh the use of a particular tool or technique. Portraits usually require soft lighting and low contrast. Colors should be slightly muted in formal portraits.

These settings accomplish that. Control Points will let you easily add fill lighting effects. After 7 Drag the point created on the chroma curve downward, and the widen it with the width slider. This links a second blur step along with the first one. The skin softener effect works by linking two different Gaussian Blur effects into the same Edit Step.

Note: Perform this step after Capture Sharpening. Move up 4 Click two points on the Master Lightness Curve as shown in the illustration. Then keep moving the slider to the right about 5 more units. Boost the saturation of reds and greens in the Chroma channel editor. Widen them with the width slider. Move the master chroma slider up to an output level of 5. If the image appears over- sharpened, reduce the Amount slider. To selectively remove haze from a scene, you can use a Color Control Point.

Use duplicate Control Points to fill in other areas as needed. This is a very subtle effect, but it can add some clarity to images that have large, distant objects in them. This is the basic formula for adjusting images of wildlife. I treat wildlife images as sort of a hybrid between landscapes and portraits. I usually want my wildlife shots to have rich colors, but I also need to retain detail in fur and feathers.

This is the basic routine I use for processing wildlife images. The Black and White Conversion filter allows you to change your color images into powerful black and white images.

Leave the black luminance at 0 and the white luminance at Apply Capture Sharpening. Add duplicate Control Points as needed to cover the sky and trees. If you have an older Nikon DSLR lying around, you might want to consider having it modified to shoot infrared images.

A recommended place to get your camera converted to infrared is Life Pixel; www. Double Threshold This will enhance colors in the infrared image. Tool to set Black and White Control Points. This step is entirely subjective. Then place a Neutral Control point anywhere on the image where you get nice midtones.

Of all the topics in digital photography, workflow is probably the most confusing and contentious. Why is digital workflow such a challenging subject? There are different kinds of photographers out there, from the fine-art photographers who process a select few images to the high-volume, deadline-bound wedding photographers and photojournalists.

The tools suited for one style of photography may be insufficient or total overkill for other styles of photography. Workflow is also very tightly tied into the kind of camera and computing equipment a photographer chooses to use. Computer hardware creates limitations on workflow, too.

My goal in this section is to share the way I do my own workflow, and give some ideas on how you can set up your own. This allows me to set up some basic requirements that help me evaluate whether a software application will be useful in my workflow.

The whole idea of having a workflow is to not only have a reliable process for managing your digital images, but also to minimize the amount of work needed to do the management. This is what your camera and camera settings is for. Here is where you transfer images to your computer, set up file storage strategies, and evaluate images to decide what is worth processing and what is trash.

Up until now, this book has essentially dealt with 3, the Processing Phase. As a NEF shooter and Capture NX2 user, however, there are some important considerations to make when choosing a workflow application.

First, you need to determine how the workflow application display RAW images. The apparent strength of many applications that offer RAW support is also their biggest weakness when it comes to NEFs.

In Image Browsers compared. Adobe Bridge bottom re-renders RAW files with its own engine. Second, you need to know how your workflow application handles metadata. Unfortunately, Capture NX2 does not read sidecar files. Third, determine how your application handles opening files in external editors. While some people simply copy their image files from the card to their computer manually, I like the flexibility of using a transfer application.

Nikon Transfer left is a free download from Nikon. Both programs offer a variety of operations that can be performed while you transfer images. I prefer to take a functional approach to file storage structure. Others may take a different viewpoint, but I try to create a master directory for my images that gives me a clue as to what images are inside it.

Am I wrong? Are they? Workflow is personal. Before you run out and buy three extra hard drives, at least consider making a duplicate of all your NEFs.

The easiest way to make a back-up copy of your files is while you are transferring them into your computer. Both Nikon Transfer and Photo Mechanic offer the ability to copy images from a camera to two destinations simultaneously.

For added insurance, I set my secondary destination to a second hard disk drive. Adding metadata during image transfer One of the nice features of digital images is their ability to store metadata in addition to the image data. Some metadata, like EXIF information shooting data is already in your image file.

However, adding keywords and other relevant metadata tags to your images will help you manage those images later, even help you find them on your computer. While this process will slow down image transfers slightly, it speeds up my overall workflow. While there is nothing inherently wrong with the default naming system, it has some limitations.

First of all, the default file names give you no relevant information about the file. Secondly, the Nikon file naming system will reset itself after 10, shots. That means, in time, you can get two images with identical names! This nomenclature system is useful, because all my images are tagged with my name, the shot date, and the frame number.

Again, I do my image renaming during the image transfer process with Photo Mechanic, but I could also perform a batch rename in my image browser. The file naming dialog in Nikon Transfer right allows you to rename files during transfer.

Rating Images: Stars and Labels You can use star ratings, labels, or both to annotate your images. This new function enables you to apply enhancements such as Unsharp Mask or D-Lighting to a specific area with just a click of the mouse. There is no need for precision selection or masks - the Selection Control Point recognizes the areas you want to modify. The enhancement effect can easily be adjusted, allowing you to apply your chosen effect as you would with intuitive masking.

To simply achieve more natural-looking results, Auto Retouch Brush lets you remove dust spots on an image using a mouse click and stroke to match the surrounding color and tones.

This can also be used to remove facial blemishes, imperfections on flowers, or other unwanted objects within the frame. Using the slider at [Quick Fix], you can adjust shadows by [Shadow Adjust] and blown out highlights by [Highlight Adjust]. Saves a specified movie frame as a JPEG image with the same pixel count as the original movie frame. Select the shooting information to be printed with images from a detailed set of options.
