Capture NX2 users for Nikon

[YesDear]

Something I learned in my class last weekend.

Did you know that you can open a jpg in nx2 make changes to it then save it as a NEF file. NEF is the nikon raw file if you are not a Nikon user. The program does not create a true RAW file but also does not hard code the changes to your jpg. You can then come back and have your original image.

Also, did you know that when you work on a file and save it as a version, that it saves all the commands for the changes you made but does not make a copy of the image. You can then come back and see the different versions and have the original image and it does not create a copy thus saving you space on your computer!

You can create multiple control points by using the alt key and clicking again. That way you can create multiple points that are associated. Change one and you change them all. Neat trick also, if you have a control point that exceeds the area you want it to control you can create another set of control points around the first set and it will force the first set back on the original item selected.

FYI
In Lightroom you can also save jpg files as a DNG file. I haven't found a use for this feature yet, since LR's catalog stores all of the nondestructive edits.
