Default JPEGs and NX

To see what can be done with a jpeg in NX I have had go at a high contrast image.

If the JPEG is converted to a NEF editing does not degrade the origional image. A major plus point is that it allows D Light to be used. In high contrast situations this can be used to draw out shadow details without sacrificing highlights.

In this image D Light was first used, followed by a series of control points. Colour picker was used in 2 areas. The burnt out side of the grey building and the sky. All other control points were tweeks. Some increased brightness, some reduced brightness and some returned the point to origional.

The idea being to show how much the origional could be changed.
