Excellent tool for actual photographers - Martin Turner--2008

I thought this was a really useful review. VersionTracker seems to attract a certain kind of review which focusses on how true to the Mac Interface an application is, how well it supports concepts like open-formats, and how well it supports the latest hardware. I was glad to see a review by an actual photographer. While I agree that interface, open formats and latest hardware are all important elements, especially when the issue is a piece of software which does what loads of other applications do, I agree with you entirely that a unique tool like Capture NX needs to be looked at for what it is and what it does, not for how it corresponds to a particular aesthetic.

Excellent tool for actual photographers - Mr Reynolds--2008

Of course the "actual photographer" in this case seems more of a marketing specialist or math instructor than an "actual photographer." Most "actual photographers" are more interested in perfecting their image before it passes through their lenses, and less interested in juggling the resulting image pixel by pixel in a computer. I don't remember reading a review so lavish in praise supported by so little in example--and the "actual photographer" seems determined to support the product to the death, which must be gratifying to the developers . . . .
