D800
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 5:10 pmWell I am having a few teething problems. Mainly due to #@$^ Adobe.
I can take the photos, but I cannot do anything with them.
LR4 Beta says it cannot read them. As does LR3 and PS5.1
Adobe's Website says that they CAN be read by LR4, but they won't let me buy that product. I'm beginning to think they think I am a terrorist and plan on doing my planning with this camera. They must be thinking of Gerry. He's the one who hangs around airports with a DSLR.
So I fell back on an olde copy of NX2 that I no longer use. It will read them, but treats them as JPEGs in that it won't allow me to adjust WB or Exposure. My vague memory is that these should both be OK for NEFs Either I am doing something wrong (likely!) or even Nikon don't have full support for these NEFs yet.
Anyway here are two photos I took on my first outing with the D800. Both are shot with WB=Cloudy which is what I use as a default, figuring I can adjust later if needs be. OK for the second, but the first was indoors, so probably not appropriate WB.
One of my daughters being typically uncooperative. The first couple of shots she kept moving her head so they were irretrievably blurred
View from the restaurant where we were eating. The day was not great, but hey at least the WB was appropriate here.
I will save proper pixel peeper shots for when I get the editing software sorted.
