In fact, I got so fed up with them 17 yrs ago that I moved to Mac.
OK, you have a point about Linux distros.

But adjusting these settings either with Nikon or other software does not change the raw camera data collected by the sensor. It's possible that some other software may attempt to read the in-camera settings and apply those to the image, but for the most part non-Nikon software is simply going to apply their own default processing that is also completely adjustable. For example if you have the camera set to Standard and use Nikon NX-D software to change it to Landscape, the result is the exact same as if you had set the camera to Landscape to begin with. The Picture Controls are settings that are applied to the raw sensor data during processing. That is if LightZone happens to be compatible with your Linux version in the unbelievably tangled mess of incompatible distros and packages. If you're dead-set against Windows, absolutely must use Linux exclusively, and don't wish to utilize the powerful Nikon software tools, LightZone is my preferred OpenSource raw editor. Even create your own Picture Control presets and load them into the camera. Open your raw files, change from Standard to Landscape or any other preset and back as many times as you wish with no permanent effect on the raw file, adjust any of the Picture Control settings manually, turn the Active-D Lighting on and off, choose the White Balance with the exact same effect as setting it in-camera. Nikon's Picture Control system is powerful but under-used.

So, what's the easiest way to get the best RAW conversion? I realise 'easiest' and 'best' are often opposed, but I'd be interested to know what you think is the best compromise.Įasiest, best, fastest, cheapest, superior in every way.Īdd a partition to your computer, install Windows 7, and use the Nikon Capture NX-D software. (whose UI is even worse!) Then there's dcraw. So I tried simply importing the D810-sharpened NEFs directly into Gimp. And then it occurred to me that maybe that's what Sharpening in the Picture Control settings does
And noticed that actually the image wasn't all that bad: text on my MTF target was sharp enough - it just had a halo/cloud around it.Īha! I thought. At last I was able to see proper-sized images. and was horrified when I saw the images! I thought I had a duff (new) camera and/or lenses (Nikkor 24-70 2.8E ED VR, also new)!!!Īnyway, to get my NEFs converted I looked for a RAW converter, and found RawTherapee. Then I saw that there were still Picture Control settings! So, I set it to Neutral, and adjusted Sharpening to zero. Indeed, I thought shooting RAW meant that no processing was done to my pristine image.
I used to switch off all sharpening and processing by cameras/scanners/converters thinking that I'd do it (better) in Photoshop. Now I've got NEFs from a Nikon D810 and am using Linux and Gimp 2.10, so everything's different.

I used to use CaptureOne (I think) with the DNGs from my Leica M9 on a Mac and then do further basic post processing in Photoshop. Which RAW converter would you use for Linux / Gimp? TL DR: What are your recommended Picture Control settings on a D810 (for RAW) for landscape (or default).
