PictureProject 1.7.5 update

The release doc for PictureProject 1.7.5 states:

"Support for RAW images captured with the D40 was added." What does this mean? Do I not now need Capture NX? I use PS 7 to do my PP, so am I set to shoot RAW/NEF now?

You can do basic NEF adjustments with PP on your D40 files.

D 8 0, D 7 0, 1 8 - 2 0 0 v r, 5 0 f 1 . 4, 1 8 - 7 0 (sold)
1 0 5 v r, T o k i n a 2 8 - 7 0 f 2 . 8 p r o - s v, S B 6 0 0
N X, N V, N C, P P, P S E 4

Capture NX is to Picture Project as a brand new Porsche is to a tricycle with broken wheels. PP is useless.

NX is much more complicated. You have to purchase NX, whereas PP was included with your D40 purchase. PP has very ver basic NEF post processing abilities.

Is there an update from PP 1.7 to 1.7.5, and if so where is it? I searched on Nikon's site and found nothing about PP 1.7.5.

Tx for the link above.

Hmmm.. But after going through the registration process again, I get this message...

"If you have entered the correct serial number in the "My Profile" area and are still getting an error your camera may not be a North American model camera. This download is only available to North American users. If you purchased your camera in North America, and the serial number reports an error you may have a "Grey Market" product. "
Well I'm in SA, but can't figure why this upgrade should be for NA only.

Anyhow I go back to Europe & Africa Nikon site & no mention of V1.7.5.

Trying now to get an answer from Nikon.

Patco,

Thank you for the link. I installed PP 1.7.5, but it looks just like 1.7; it even says PP 1.7 in the "About PP" dialog box. I guess the only real change is the Raw converter for D40?

87MB download?? The file I downloaded, labeled PictureProject 1.7.5, was only 31MB. The file you are talking about is almost three times as large - why would that be?

quite ok for managing and basic processing JPEGs (and keeps the original files untouched).

Sorry, I have no personal experience with this update, but that is one of the few changes listed on the site.

Odd, as I have been able to process my D40 RAW files with the PP version that came with the camera back in December. Maybe that version was 1.7.5 already???

In PP, Help, Check for Updates, it tells me-

"This is to notify you that a full version of PictureProject version 1.7.5 is available for download. PictureProject version 1.7.5 adds support for Windows Vista (32bit version)"

So, the question is is this just a Vista support update?

I'm using PP version 1.5 and when I check for updates, it tells me there is a v1.61, what's going on? How come I can't 'see' the 1.75?

George

I dl from nikon.ca. I have to uninstall the existing one on my hard drive before I can install the new 1.7.5. So this is not an update, it is a new install.
