My process at the moment is as follows - along with the various problems etc.
1. Transfer images via Nikon Transfer 5 - adding Shooting Data to IPTC Caption field.
2. Adjust images using Nikon Editor 5.1.4 or Capture 3.5.1
3. Using Batch in Photoshop open images using the Nikon NEF plug-in 2.2
Problem - Opens all NEF files with adjustments from the first image in the batch.
4. Process to JPG - resize, unsharp mask, watermark etc
5. "Save for Web" within Photoshop Batch
Problem - Strips out the IPTC information.
I know I could replace 3. with Batch processing in Nikon Capture, but it seems very slow & adds another step.
5. could be replaced by "Save As" with various options, but I don't think I'd get the same results with image quality.
If anyone has any suggestions, similar experiences... ??
Keeping & adding to the IPTC & EXIF metadata is a very important part of this process.
