Jason's new eBook is now available for download from his website at www.luminescentphoto.com/capturenx.html . On a first scan it looks well laid out and seems to be easy to read. A new book for the weekend is always a good thing, one on NX doubly special!

Thanks for the link to Jason's new book. I have downloaded and almost completed reading the book. I found the book easy to understand and easy to follow Jason's examples.

You have to love RAW shooting. After reading this book, I now have a geater understanding of the abilities of Capture NX and because I shoot in RAW, I am able to improve my future and past pictures.

"Great Meal. What pots did you use?"

I downloaded it last night. So far so good. Exactly what I needed given that Nikon's own instruction booklet is pretty worthless. I'm using NX in my workflow now every day. Thank you, Jason!

Thanks to Jason for this eBook. I've downloaded it and started reading, and am impressed so far. I don't actually have Capture NX yet, but when I do finally purchase it, this guide will be invaluable

A great guide to NX, and well written as compared to any other type of guide.

Well done, Jason.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. I honestly never would have had this idea had I not joined Nikonians several years ago. Posting and reading threads here has given me a much better understanding of photography. Moreover, it's nice to know that when you are working with a piece of software or your camera, you are not alone.

Just bought my copy...I look forward to getting the most from Capture NX now, with the help of this guide!

Thanks Jason!!

Hello Jason,

Any plans for a printed version of this e-book? The ease of publishing of an e-book must be great (compared to conventional publishing), but I still find I prefer traditional books in actual use. Either way thanks for taking the time to fill the info niche on NX.

Regards,

Justin

Hi Justin,

I think the book is great but also wanted it in regular book form.
I find it easier to look at the book and work on my computer at the same time so I took my copy of Jason's ebook to Kinkos and had a hard copy printed and they did a nice coil binding with covers front and back. I had it all done in black and white for just under $20.
You can do the full color version also for a few more dollars.


Its a very good book,

Can we not get this book in hard or paper back version instead of e-book ?

No hard copy is available. You have to purchase the e book and print it out if you desire.

Now, If I Can Just Do Justice To My Equipment..

Great eBook. The best complement I can give it is that it's the best $25 upgrade to any of my photographic/post production equipment that I've made in a very long time!

If you are using Capture NX then this book covers a ton of material that isn't easily found in the product help files and the provision of some sample sets for various picture types is really helpful. I thought I knew Capture & Capture NX reasonably well but I never really got to grips with the LCH controls. Jason's book was an epiphany for me and I can't believe that I haven't been using ths for so long.

I would like to add my congratulations to Jason for his excellent book. He has clearly devoted a deal of thought to both the content and the structure of the book. The exposition is particularly lucid throughout. Without ever being dogmatic, Jason provides countless useful recommendations regarding techniques and settings.

It is a valuable complement to the Capture NX manual. I realise that it would be a departure from their standard practices but I suspect that if Nikon USA and Nikon Europe could, via some ‘arrangement’ with Jason, make it available for download on their websites, the take-up of NX could be increased substantially.

I went to the link listed. It has just a little bit of overlapping text. I hit the Order button and just get a URL Not Found page. This is from my Firefox 1.5 browser.

Sorry Jason, but I might not be able to buy your book after all.

The link should work in FireFox. Usually the text overlap issues are with IE6.

In fact, I just tried it again in Firefox 1.5.0.7, and it was very smooth.

If you have issues, let me know.

I just finishing reading part of the book and all I can say is THANK YOU!! Learning how to use the LCH function is worth the price alone. My fall foilage pictures just pop now.

Thanks, Dick. I appreciate it. You're right. I never knew how cool the LCH tool was until I started fooling with it in NC4. I think it is one of the most powerful tools in NX. I pretty much use it on all my photos now.

A hearty "thank you" to Jason. I had been playing around with NX for awhile, but just couldn't get my photos looking good---always a bit flat and fuzzy. Having a step-by-step guide so well laid out has made all the difference. The settings files work really well, too. Now, I seldom need to transfer into photoshop, I can get printable photos in most cases in NX. Thanks again, a very, very helpful book.

Cheers,

Great Ebook Jason. Should make life easier with NX.

Major disappointment here! I just learned about this ebook and went rushing to buy it, credit card in hand.

But it rejected me, apparently because I use a Hotmail account. Is there no way for me to buy this then? (I'm in the UK, if that is relevant at all).

Chris,
I'm not aware of any email issues with my e-commerce site. I have seen some people's credit cards refused, but I have lots of happy customers in the UK and elsewhere. You need to use a valid email address when purchasing so the download code can reach you.

Drop me an email if you continue to have issues and I'll make sure you can get a copy.
