Solved my problem. Uninstalled, re-installed 1.4.0 and ran it once with Rosetta disabled in Info, reinstalled 1.5.2 and ran, all good!

Crashes for me too unless I run it in Rosetta mode.

I had the old ViewNX installed which partially worked with Rosetta enabled, then upgraded to 1.5.2 and when it crashed mid usage I noticed Rosetta was still ticked, so disabled it and now it crashes every time I attempt to launch it.

I had problems and problems with the previous version of ViewNX. Finally 1.5.2 was release yesterday. I un-installed the the previous version of ViewNX first, reboot, and then install 1.5.2. Everything works wonderful so far. No problem running at 10.6.2 on a Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.

Works as advertised,
same old crappy app.
They must have one programmer working on nikon apps.. bc they consistently suck for mac
But at least my colors are ok now lol;;
(Why the hell does it bloat the nef file when I make changes? I don’t think NX does that..)

They should release Camera Control Pro that actually works on Win 7.

I am showing the Transfer download as 1.5.3, also shows up this way in Help/About. View does show 1.5.2.

No, they aren’t, but as much as I love LR, the image quality isn’t what you get from the NX apps. I wish that Nikon would look at the UIs of their competition, or (and I know this is like asking for a bazillion, kajillion dollars) stop encrypting the data in their RAW files so that other applications like LR can correctly convert them.

I have it running now, but only when I open it in Rosetta mode

I have tried everything, done a complete software update, rebooted etc and still doesn’t work without crashing immediately on opening it.

Sigh!!!!

Anyway ViewNX and Capture NX isn`t very ergonomic and easy to handle

Ok, so after reinstalling 1.5.0 and then 1.5.2 again, its now working, and finally the green colour cast has been fixed and my photos no longer look like they were taken in The Matrix
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 BTW

Well, this has completely killed ViewNX on my Windows 7 machine. After upgrading it doesnt even launch. That’s just about what I have come to expect from Nikon, without doubt one of the worst companies for software, and its not even a complex program.

OIC, no I am running an old style Macbook Pro (all silver) with a Geforce 8600M GT 128mb graphics card (and 2.2ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram).

Are you using one of the unibody Macbooks with the selectable video cards? I don’t know that it actually makes a difference beyond battery life, but I always select “Higher Performance” when I’m working with NX or LR.

How do you mean in terms of video settings?
