Excellent info, Dean, but just to clarify: 1) NX Studio will only recognize Nikon CPU equipped lenses for “Lens Correction” to provide "Auto Distortion Control". If the photo you were using had been shot with a Nikon 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 AF-D or S lens NX Studio would provide "Auto Distortion Control". If it was a third-party lens (Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, etc.) or a non-CPU Nikon (Ai, Ai-S, AF) it will not. 2) An APS-C correction factor (in Nikon’s case 1.5) only applies to the field of view. An 18mm lens will provide the same field of view as a 27mm lens, but you will still be shooting through an 18mm lens and have the distortion of an 18mm lens. An APS-C sensor does not change the elemental characteristics of a lens, it just sees a smaller area (crop) in the center of the lens. 3) An interesting aspect of point #2 for some readers: The worst part of a lens (distortion, light falloff, lack of sharpness, low contrast, etc.) all occur toward the outer edge of a lens’s image circle, and lens sharpness, contrast, distortion, light falloff, etc., all greatly improve moving toward the center of the image circle. Therefore, APS-C sensors often provide their best image quality when using a full frame lens (frequently better than a full frame sensor using the same lens) because they take their images from the center of the full frame image circle. An APS-C specific lens has the same undesirable qualities toward the outer edge of its image circle too. Unfortunately, the APS-C sensor extends the corners of its image to the edges of the APS-C specific lens’s image circle, thus providing an image with more distortion, light falloff, etc. than would be had using the same focal length full frame lens.
dang thats a really good piece of information i hadnt thought about aps-c with a full frame lens in that way. are full frame designed lens harder to come by? im still relatively knew to photography
The left edge of the shed leans in because of perspective. The top of the edge is further from the lens than the bottom, so its image is smaller. Thus the distance between the vertical slats is smaller at the top than the bottom, and the edge appears to lean in. This is what the "tilt" function in view cameras is used to correct.
I actually have one already, but thanks for the suggestion. I get a lot of ideas of what videos to make or make next from suggestions. The link to the video on LCH is th-cam.com/video/rcRyYyFYB4g/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dean first off a massive thank you for the videos regarding Nikon NX Studio I've learned such a lot from you and your videos. One question I'd like ask if possible, do you know how to add a water-mark in NX Studio any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Fred.
Hi, Photo Blue. I am wondering if you could have a video dedicated to how Nikon NX Studio handles raw images of non-Nikon-branded lenses, say Sigma or Tamron, etc. I am considering a lens from 3rd party, but I am afraid I have to rely on Lightroom (to which I don't have a desire to subscribe) to correct lens distortions, etc.
The bulk of the adjustments demonstrated can be applied to jpg images, which belies the title...he doesn't even address the adjustments specific to RAW files under Basic Edit Palettes
no where in the title stated that the differences between the two were going to be compared and explained, where are you getting that from? the only thing stated in the title was how to edit a raw a file..... zero mention of jpg anywhere.
hello, do you know why when i open my picture in nx studio it shows it with the parameters of the camera instead of showing the actual raw version? you know what i mean? it's not showing the raw but the enhanced version with contrast and stuff already into it

Thanks for this. Very straightforward for a beginner like me and I appreciate the steps in order.

Thank you Dean, really clear and helped me to get started using NX Studio on my raw files.
Great to hear!
Another great video Dean. Well done!
Thanks again!

Thank you so much!! I love your video!
You are so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful.
Thanks so much Dean this was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Have you talked about how to use LCH in NX Studio? If not, can you please make one? Thanks.
I actually have one already, but thanks for the suggestion. I get a lot of ideas of what videos to make or make next from suggestions. The link to the video on LCH is th-cam.com/video/rcRyYyFYB4g/w-d-xo.html

I will look into that and try to make a video on it. Thanks for the idea. It should be interesting.
Is there a way to custom draw a color control point instead of just a circle?
No, but you can combine different circles, +possibly “anti-circles” where the effect will not be applied

It shows it with the Nikon Picture Controls applied.
But you can change every single parameter of your NEF file in Nikon NX Studio
Just need NIK plug-ins to work with this.
