My custom curve using NIKON CAPTURE NX

Hello LPG's

I'm finally done with my costume curve using NIKON CAPTURE NX, step to apply is very simple and easy to follow.

Step1 : Open image using NIKON CAPTURE NX


Step2 : Open my custom curve "portrait"


Step3 : Apply and see the difference
Left: Original photo, Right: After applying custom curve
Example 1

Example 2

Example 3




Note : Correct exposure is still very important!

Requirements : you should shoot as RAW with below camera settings

Image Quality: Raw
Raw Compression: Off
White Balance: Auto -1
Long Exposure NR: Off
High ISO NR: Off
Image Sharpening: Highest
Tone compensation or contrast: Lowest
Color Space: Adobe
Color Mode: II
Color Saturation: Normal
Hue Adjustment: 0 degree

For more details why these settings, you can ask during our PS activities.

For my custom curve, I can give you a copy during PS activities this curve simulates D3 color reproduction, d-lighting correction (highlights/shadows), image clarity and etc. you can also do apply to all images but I suggest you to check each photos for you to adjust the correct exposure you want.

Any camera brand can do as long as you shoot RAW.

Hope this will help and see you sround for our next activities

Cheers,
Denz

I have a Nikon D80 but I can't find this setting, patulong kung may time ka bossing..

Makikita mo eto under custom setting kung saan pipili ka kng portrait, vivid, etc..

salamat sa tulong mo bossing, nakita ko na yun matagal na pero nakilimutan kong balikan.

bro. denz, bago lang ako dito, baka naman pwede mong i-email sa akin yung white balance curve settings mo? di ako makakapunta sa mga activities mo. andito ako sa toronto eh. salamat... at saka dun sa mga gusto ng app para sa canon raw, try Camera Raw. Salamat Denz.
