HI,
Win 7, 64bits RT vers: 4.2.1291 - D7000/RAW
When I use RT in neutral mode (and others ?) It seems that a noise reduction is apply despite that all buttons are OFF.
I tried to look at the pp3 file, but didn’t noticed anything wrong.
The problem is that accuracy isn’t good.
Below, a comparative picture worked by Capture NX2 and RT.
Thanks a lot for any explanation.
Noise reduction is applied in RT only if noise reduction is enabled. That’s a fact!
It may be because sharpening is turned off in RT neutral mode and NX2 is applying tons.
I agree with Heckflosse, off = off, on = on,
and a neutral profile sets it of - unless the profile is manualy altered.
The only way to be shure i think is to repeat your processing →
open image → set neutral profile → save current image ( ctrl + s ) + select “save processing parameters with image” → upload the *.pp3 here, so we can look at it.
There could also be another thing going on - i mean other than noise - sharpening !,
I tought of it when I looked at your pictures.
Maybe the Capture NX2 file is sharpenend a lot, and the RT neutral is maybe just like it should be : RAW neutral, unsharpened and un denoised
Regards,
Marc
Capture NX2 applies a fair amount of sharpening by default through the Picture Control utility that is automatically loaded every time an NEF file is loaded. Sharpening can be be turned off manually but I know of no way to embed that setting into the utility – meaning that sharpening must be turned off manually every time a new NEF photo is loaded. The only way to bypass is to create a custom “adjustment” (Nikon’s equivalent of a profile) that can be applied either to a single file or to a batch.
OK, understood !
I could have guessed by looking a little more …
Thank you
