The (subsequent) edits are disabled when you change an earlier entry in the edit list. You can switch it off somewhere in preferences, but it will make CNX slower, because it will have to re-process all those later edits again.

“- When the crop tool was used to select a crop and the ENTER key pressed to apply the crop, the cursor did not switch to a selection tool. This issue has been resolved.”

This was not an issue, this was a feature! I liked it! It was useful! Sigh. Oh well, I still do like Capture NX2.

Or even better, make their edit steps use Photoshop-compatible plugins. Now that would make NX really useful. Until it bogs down again due to the slow processing…

Your note says NX2.2.4 is Europe only. It is available at the US website today.

Why doesn’t Nikon release a SDK on Nikon Capture and let more competent programmers develop it?
I’d love to process my images with NX2, but if Nikon is going to drag its feet, why bother?

I wish capture nx 3 was announced.
shooting thousands of photos a day makes me stick with Lightroom in spite of major flows on the raw conversion.
NX2 conversion is much better but the workflow is not what should be.
so I hope for the future release nikon will keep an eye on this matter.

Can’t wait for the NX2 updated for Windows 7 x64, currently NX2 seems a bit flakey and constantly disabling edits I’ve made while processing my RAW files

I wish NX3 comes out soon and I hope they include their Sharpener Pro add-on as well as Dfine for better noise reduction. These are two areas I feel need the most attention as well as a more polished UI.

Well, Win 7 64 bit support is still spotty. Bleah.

if you earn lots of money from photography, the price of a D3x will be of no concern. Besides the target market of the D3x is more of users who cant afford Medium Format, as I’ve been told.

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!! thanks for that comment. As soon as I read it I checked and there it was. I can now shoot in RAW….. two weeks after I returned from a month long photography vacation.

Yeah, that is pretty sad. When did Snow Leopard come out, end of August? I’m sure they had access to beta code before that. Releasing compatibility over 2 months after a point release is pretty bad.

Windows 7 came out after Snow Leapard and was supported sooner? Come on Nikon/Nik!

Very good catch, Neil.

When I checked early today, the web page showed ‘end of December 2009′.

Admin, looking at your original link and following it to the original Nikon source it appears they changed the dates from what you had in your linked page. It looks like they delayed it a month.

No argument there. I did a survey on NX about a year ago if I remember.

just because people buy something doesn’t mean that it’s not overpriced. I have used nikon cameras for over twenty years and have spent tens of thousands of dollars on camera bodies and lens and when they make a camera that i actually think is worth buying i will, but i sure as hell will not waste money on a d3x.
