Just watched your vid loved I was tossing thinking of Lightroom but not now have been a nikon man for years have always used the nikon view very early software now will be using this great job champ
Thanks Jasin! I'm contemplating ditching LrC to use NX Studio, and this has made my decision much easier. I've recently moved to Z and wonder why I held on to using my fleet of bulky/heavy Nikon dSLR for so long! Nikon Z are amazing :)
Hi AndrooH, I also want to buy Nikon Z6iii and start using NX Studio. I am going to be using Macbook Pro and once I click import from NX Studio, do I need to choose or make a new folder as a Primary Destination?
This is a very simple application and easy to use. However, its animations and transitions give you a sense of slowness and lag, making you feel like you're working with weak hardware.
Great video! I use NX Studio in a very similar way as you. It is also great for basic color correction and color grading. For me it is enough, I don’t need to buy an expensive editing software.
Hello Jason, Alphonse from the U.S., two part question; do you use NX Studio when you are working on motion pictures as a Unit Stills Photographer ... AND ... do you shoot all day and edit at the hotel room or edit on set between set-ups? BTW - new to Nikon editing software, but been with Nikon since 1977.
Thanks buddy, yes I use NX Studio on my film productions and do my select edits in photoshop with Nik Colour effects 5. I try and get everything done on set so I can have a little life away from work...
Just discovered NX Tether and together with NX Studio brilliant. Also in NX Studio there is an option to send it to another program on your computer. So it is like a hub to cull, edit and send your photos
A couple of things to consider for importing. Using the "Preferences" tab I rename all my files as YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS (with suffixes for multiple per second). That way I can always find a photo by date and order them chronologically. I also tag my photos with either names or events, also for easier searching.
Is it my imagination, but are those hockey sticks curving in the images. I may have read that mirrorless cameras were exhibiting such behavior(s), as contrasted to their older brother reflex mirror types??? The behavior/discussion, if I remember correctly, was related to shutter speed, and processor speed, and other tech stuff. Historically, old, uncorrected lens were responsible for such curvatures (of objects).
Hi, sorry I’ve not been on this site before. I found the NX Studio piece, very interesting. I used Nikon software from its concept years ago. However, lately I find when I transfer images, into NX Studio, sometimes it tells me the folder is empty. In explorer they appear and I have to create a new folder to put them into, to see them. I always use Nikon Transfer but into Adobe bridge for ease. Any suggestions? Also I have two fast -laptops running windows but the program creeps along compared to Photoshop and Lightroom…….. Help
NX Studio is woefully underrated. I used to use Capture NX-D before it changed to Studio and the difference between the rendering engine of Nikon and Adobe is night and day, especially in skintones. It's a shame it's not as optimised, I really like Capture One for speed. While it's not as good as NX Studio at rendering in all circumstances I find it a good compromise
Unfortunately it's slow, buggy & the usual Nikon halfarsed approach to software. Who knows, maybe one day it will get better, but I won't hold my breath
Couldn’t say better. De-matricing in NxX studio beats all other softwares ( i used Capture One). But it needs improvements in terms of speed and stability.
With your Z9s high fps rate, you must get thousands of images each day that need culling. What software do you use for this for unit stills, NX Studio? Do you do this daily, or every few days? Love your work big J, cheers!
So you send to lightroom using tiff format right? I am just concerned that tiff files will have all the raw information of the dynamic range i want to increase or decrease in shadow recovery
Quite like NX Studio, but it's pretty bad at recovering highlights. Of course, blown is blown, but NX Studio seems to decide to clip things earlier than Lightroom. It's strange and disappointing.
This video was just what I was looking for - first class, thanks!! 😊
I'm so glad!

Always inspiring and excellent
Wow, thank you, I was a little worried about this one that it would only make sense to me.
Outstanding! I wish I had seen this a year ago! Thank you for sharing with us!
You're very welcome!

Always been a Lightroom guy, but I keep hearing that NX studio will do some things for the newer Nikon cameras that other software can’t
Thank you I am new to Nikon and I wanting to learn editing after much frustration in the past.
Jasin you should have showed the viewers the Filter Option. I find this is great

you can then open them in the editing program of your choice.

daily and sometimes during the shoot day if I am up to date. I usually run a day behind.
good job with the game
Thanks Ollie!
Hi Jasin, just catching up on this vid. What was the name if the card reader you are using?
Hoodman they also make great cards and eyepieces
There is nothing better for developing Nef Nikon, third-party programs, yes they are cool, but they do not develop raw as well as the native program.
I am new to editing. Why do you need to use more than one editing software?
Just makes it simpler for me, I just use what works for what works.
Due to price etc?
So you send to lightroom using tiff format right? I am just concerned that tiff files will have all the raw information of the dynamic range i want to increase or decrease in shadow recovery
No, I don’t use Lightroom.
Jasin, how to I batch process a group of photos?
select all.
Top.

I wish Nikon PR and UI team to come title bit closer to earth, one hardly ever find more unresponsive and confusingly dated to 90s interface then NX
