Working fast with Nikon View NX-i and Capture NX-D combo
Posted: Thu 12 May 2016 06:49
I am a long time Nikon software user and even though I have PS and LR, I still prefer Capture NX.
Main complaint about Nikon software is speed.
My recommendations to work fast with NX-i & Capture NX-D software:

Main complaint about Nikon software is speed.
My recommendations to work fast with NX-i & Capture NX-D software:
- Use a (fast) SSD to run NX-i & Capture NX-D software
If you want things to go very fast, use a second SSD for your pictures. (I use a Samsung EVO 840 for OS and programs and a Samsung EVO 850 1Tb for picture storage, viewing and processing) - Before starting to sort, preview or PP pictures, always copy your images from your camera CF, SD or XQD card to your SSD
- For viewing images fast in NX-i Menu View/Viewer/preview (not RAW)
- Move your NX-i cache to the SSD. Menu Edit/options/cache location
- Move NX-D cache to the SSD. Menu Edit/preferences/general/specify cache folder
