4.0 out of 5 stars Not for new users, October 19, 2008

This review is from: Nikon Capture NX2: Unleashing the RAW Power of Capture NX 2 (THREE Tutorial DVD Set) (CD-ROM)
NX2 is a lot different than most editors but it has a lot of very interesting and powerful tools - especially for RAW. It can be confusing at first. The author knows the product well and is obviously a gifted artist. Really impressive the way he can take a pretty blah photo and turn it into an interesting picture.

But for newbies like me he assumes you know way too much. In my opinion he goes through the basic tools too quickly and assumes you understand a lot of photo vocabulary and concepts.

I would spend a lot of time reading the manual and then consider this purchase as a way to pick up some tips from a master.

By the way. Actually 2 disks of DVD. But the whole course is included as a movie on the third disk so you can drag it over to your hard drive. I had problems seeing what he was doing using the DVDs. But I found that using the movie version was easier and also I could pick a much better display which enabled me to see what he was clicking on.

1.0 out of 5 stars I got more out of watching CAPTURE NX2 TUTORIALS ON YOUTUBE, May 10, 2009
This review is from: Nikon Capture NX2: Unleashing the RAW Power of Capture NX 2 (THREE Tutorial DVD Set) (CD-ROM)
I learn better through visuals aids. I assumed that this DVD would be my answer to learning to use Capture NX 2. I have NX 1.x version for some time now,and I think I am pretty efficient in using Capture NX.. 1.X Well, this dvd is a joke. He does not go in any order. He assumes that everyone that is watching this DVD is a color management expert/pro.!! He spend half the time on IR infrared photography! ?? Instead going into the meat and potatoes of this program, he picks a few esoteric examples and pretty much thats is it! As I said before I am familiar with Capture NX 1.X version, and I still felt that this guy is going at hyper speed with no real order. I would pay $10 for this DVD not a penny more. I realy felt ripped off.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, December 19, 2008
This review is from: Nikon Capture NX2: Unleashing the RAW Power of Capture NX 2 (THREE Tutorial DVD Set) (CD-ROM)
After being spoiled by Deke and his adobe974 reviews Mr. Versace99 doesn't measure up.!
It is apparent he knows the program but he doesn't explain things very well. He will say things like'over here' and I placed a watch point here- the problem is you cannot always see what he is doing because he is working on a tablet and there are no close ups. He doesn't explain what a watch point is or why he doing what he's demonstrating.
Also, he goes against all program educators in his approach to editing- he does his cropping of the image first. I know why he does this but he doesn't explain that NX2 is non destructive.
It's still worth buying but I'd get Jason Odell's book as a reference. That way you will fully be able to figure out NX2 which is a great and easy program.
