Book Reviews of Real World Nikon Capture NX
Book Review: Real World guide for a Really Great Program!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not sure what the other 2 reviewers were expecting from this book but I found it to be a great guide for my workflow.
Mr. Long cuts through the clutter and gets to the brass tacks on how to use this program quickly and easily.
Sure, as the other reviewer alluded to, he doesn't go as deep as the manual-but using this book in conjunction with the manual is a 1-2 punch. Anytime I want to learn more on any of the subjects he covers, I go to my manual. This isn't a replacement for the manual--it is a supplement to the manual.
Learning the ideal use of Control Points (worth buying Capture NX alone for this feature!) and getting a real persepective on the software makes all the difference for me.
The section on selection brushes cleared up a lot of confusion for me and opened up a whole new world for my photography.
Thanks to Capture NX and this book I'm spending far less time in Photoshop and other programs and getting a finished, deliverable picture while keeping an archive of all of the steps along the way.
[...]I can't wait to see Vincent Versace's new DVD set coming out as well.
Buy this book, you won't regret it.
