Morning everyone. Okay i have a lot to load up but I wanted to start with my morning bitch. Sorry but after looking at a lot of images and going through ACR with all the different profiles there just seems not to be one profile set for all images. I have looked at a bunch of images with different profiles and whats good for one is not good for another. Than Bob kindly reminded me after my frustrating moments last night with this that the D800 profiles are beta with the Camera Raw. Okay that settled me down some but folks with ACR and any image i suggest you try all the profiles and see what works best for that image until this is not beta any more.
Now the second frustrating thing is just flat out working with NX but the files look good in it and things look pretty darn clean. Im still working on the sharpening with it and getting around the software. I'm obviously waiting it out until C1 comes out but I did process all this in NX that I will post today. Just so i can get a feel for the program better and such.
But in this sample just for a comparison I used both ACR and NX , now in ACR i went with camera landscape which throws a lot of punch in the image so you need to back off contrast, saturation and vibrance but it looks pretty good but in camera standard it was flat as a pancake. So if your going to use ACR right now try different profiles and find what works the best. shot with the 14-24
Okay ACR image with camera landscape profile
This is the NX file with really not much done to it. It probably represents the subject the better of the two
