Before
Get Nikon’s NX Studio software
If you want to try editing the NEF files from your Nikon camera, you can download the NX Studio software from: www.bit.ly/dcm291_nxstudioAfter
NX Studio is specifically designed to process NEF images from Nikon cameras N because a number of the functions tie directly into the settings that you can use on your camera. However, you can import jpeg images from any camera system (raw files from other cameras won’t work) and use many of the picture controls. The ones that only work on Nikon NEF files have a RAW symbol next to them, which includes Picture Controls. Here you have the option of selecting Camera Compatible, which means the options under Advanced Settings are only the ones that were present in the camera that took the photo, or Latest Picture Control, which lets you use all the available ones.
