![]() ![]() If and how control points can be turned into non-destructive edits in ND-X is unclear to me as control points will not be part of NX-D. The updated list of Nikon's answers at indicates that NX-D may eventually honor NX-2 edits, even control points. Non-destructive edits seem to be proprietary and essentially non-transferable between applications. I have not yet concluded that Adobe is the signpost pointing to my track. Like other NX2-users, I have tried to figure out which way to go. So my reasoning is: why not break it and move to something better? Anyway, that for me was the last little push I needed to move to ACR (and, as I mentioned, sometimes LR). Meaning that if you go with NX-D, you already have to break your old workflow. First of all, I didn't use them that much, but I also found that with a bit of practice and knowing when to turn on the auto mask feature, the adjustment brush is actually quite capable!Īpart from not showing the edits in the embedded jpg, the new NX-D will not even process your NX2 edits (at least not in the foreseeable future). Strangely enough, I don't really miss the control points much. To a lesser degree, I miss the layer-like capabilities of NX2, though these can be reproduced quite easily in Photoshop, of course. The spot removal in ACR/LR just is no comparison and even the various retouch tools in Photoshop aren't always capable of achieving the same results as easily as NX2's retouch brush. Of the things I do miss in ACR, I miss the retouch brush the most. In fact, I wonder why I didn't make the switch before I can only say that I am happy I made the switch. ![]() While there are a couple of things I miss in ACR when compared to NX2, I'm actually much faster in my new workflow than before (I had the advantage that I was actually also pretty fluent with ACR, even when I was doing almost everything in NX2…). Switching to the DNG format as well, basically allowed me the same workflow as before with NEF and NX2 (also see my blog on this, actually inspired by an earlier answer of mine in this forum). Enough for me to completely change my workflow over to Adobe Camera Raw (sometimes combined with Lightroom for bulk edits). And I don't think we can count on this to change given that NX-D is actually based on an existing raw converter that also exhibits this behaviour.
