1- I love it, it's the only software that does lighten the midtone
without washing the colors with one brighen button. (it's doing a
bit of color change though which is acceptable, & can be avoided
with some curve changes, but I'm talkin about one step brigthen
button).
2- I can add contrast without burning highlights
3- saturation is top same with sharpening.
Here what's the problem, I'm NOT talking about a wish list here,
this is critical:
1- when you create profiles, lets say 3 or 4 & try to sellect one
of them, the software applies something else, I've been batteling
with this for so long now, & the only solution for it is to remove
all profiles from the main directory & leave the one you want to
use for that moment. Here how I've tested it, I made one profile
with lots saturation only & called it saturate & one with
brightness only & called brighten & one with sharpening etc...
when I came to apply the profile I've chosen the saturate & add to
file name
saturation, then open the same file again & choose
brighten & add brightness insted of default
PC & so on....
I end up with brightness for the saturation & all mixed up. Please
this is an important issue. the software isn't applying the
selected profile, it does sellect an other one from the list.
2- need an on/off buttons for each: saturation, curves, white
balance & SPECIALLY sharpening, you have it on all the time, I had
to move the intensity to 0 to dissable.
3- bit of speed
if possible
Vtie, again this is very important piece you're making, & I tell
you it'ls more effective than any other software I've seen, when I
put the review on my website with some samples, people would really
appreciate what I'm talking about. specially the brightness, there
is NO way you can get the same result with an other software
without burning some little highlights.

Vtie:
1- In the previews D1's, nothing was applied appart from the white
balance, the Software would read the information recorded with NEF
& applies it after,
But recently I've seen some difference with D1x's NEF, Nikon View
applies the sharpening (that was recorded by the camera) to the
image while the setting in NikonView says sharpening off. & you try
to change it in Nikon View & that was adding sharpening to the
sharpeness.
Nikon View is dealing different with D1 than with D1x, to be honest
I don't know what's going on.
This I'm telling by trying to files, 1 from a D1 & 1 from D1x.
Sounds like something weird in Nikon View.
But the camera really can't apply any sharpening to a RAW file.
RAW files contain data before Bayer interpolation, and there is
no sharpening algorithm that works on that (would be a very bad
idea anyway)
2- are you the author of PhotoControl?
Yes I am... Do you use it?
