Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
Hi
Coincidentally, wondering these few days.......why we have not seen you in awhile.
saaketham and I have been trying to figure this out in PM's.
Here is my workflow:
1. establish a folder in an external SSD
2. open the Sony 32gb XQD card in a Sony XQD/SD card reader
3. view in FastRawViewer; move the keepers over to the folder in that I made in the SSD
4. open those NEF's (RAW's) that I want to look at immediately in DXO for DeepPrime and then *output as a DNG's*
5. open the DNG's in Photoshop and then sometimes to Topaz Sharpen
I am open to suggestions and also to trying a new work flow ..... at least once and probably several times.
I do not know where the conversion takes place. In the above workflow, I guess the RAW is being converted in DXO. Not sure.
I know that I have not spent much time learning the extras in DXO.... and I should. As I recall sjms is big on DXO and maybe he could tell me (us) what he uses in DXO. I use it only for the DeepPrime. It is "excellente" for denoising.
I do like the D850's WB options. I usually use Natural Light Auto. If not, and it is sunny, I use Direct Sunlight.
So Ricky....you are suggesting to convert the RAW's in NX Studio. I understand that and I will try that more than several times. But then you say that you never have problems with that workflow. What workflow? . Not being a wise guy...... honestly. Is that all your workflow? Your images are superb and I am not patronizing you. They really are. You make me envious of the work you do. Same for Saaketham! You guys do super nature work.
Anyway, let me know what you think about what I wrote here.
In the meantime I will experiment with converting the RAWs in NX Studio. Please don't give up on me now.
And most of all......thanks for the suggestions.
