• Images cropped and saved as NEF in Nikon Capture 4 would open in CaptureNX with the "Base Adjustments > Detail Adjustments > Cropping and Resizing" option unchecked. This has been resolved.

Thanks for the heads up Foxy.

My version 1.0.1 is doing all I require so I will hold with that for now, unless others find a significant improvement.

Don

Improvements in browser are interesting to me so I don't have to chase around my PC to find last July's photos that I am still working on!

I hope improvements on various windows will allow the edit list and histogram to say where I last put them rather than minimising and resizing at random!

I am upgrading later so will and will report back.

Thanks Stephen.

Stephen I have downloaded it but it won't update, it tells me to remove earlier version first.

I just 'upgraded' mine and it searched for a previous copy found and upgraded. I assume if it fails to find a previous copy then its installs a trail.

The Nikon support site shows trial/updater.

It isn't even loading as a trial. It sees the other one and says its a different region

Is there another version?

Perhaps from Nikon USA?

Try downloading V1.01 from Europe site as below....

Thanks Stephen, thats weird but it did the trick, the last update I must have done was probably the wrong one, although looking at the files they look the same. Now it has updated to latest.

Very good.

I have been fooling around this evening with and found no real differences. The more I demanded of v1.01 the more buggie I found it. Time will tell if I have the same experience with this version (1.1).

Some claim v1.1 is faster and I had my initial doubts believing this was wishful thinking by commentators. After 40 minutes of using NX for real I can confirm v1.1 is quicker possibly as much as 20%. My workflow is the same as before and I seem to be working through photos with joy again.

My biggest bugbear with v1.01 was having to navigate to my temp TIFF folder when saving an intermediate TIFF, NX now remembers the folder speeding things up and relieving frustration.

I have another little niggle that is the browser no longer stays where you left it so with a folder with 200 photos, its easy to loose your place when working through sequentially.

Don, I suggest you upgrade NX - V1.01 is still available if you prefer afterwards.

Foxy Bob,

Just having a chuckle about a folder with 200 pics. I've never done more than 60 in a day. :) :) Not really had a problem with me loosing track.

Don

Have a good chuckle at this....

Just checked the quantities and 200 is an average for a regular airshow. approx 450 average for a RIAT day and there are six of them!

Believe me I am not a shutter happy shooter from what I have seem from others.
