Disc 1: Pixel Bootcamp 2.0

This is the best way to learn Capture NX2! Vincent shows you how the program works, including the user interface and new 2.0 features. Embedded in the content is not only the nuts and bolts of NX2, but also a workflow approach from a photographer’s perspective. Learn not only the features, but when and why to use them. Learn the 100% non-destructive workflow with RAW data, working on both global and local granular adjustments to your images. Be prepared to say “Wow” as you learn to control color and light by creating complex masks on the fly without brushes, selections or curves, letting the software do the heavy lifting. Learn how to enhance images in file sizes that are not hundreds of megabytes, but tens of megabytes, saving you disk space and processing time. The enhanced feature set of NX2 is extraordinarily powerful and you will learn how to take advantage of its potential.

Disc 2: From Here to There in less than an Eternity: Advanced Image Editing Workflows

One of the biggest challenges with photographic software is knowing when to use specific features on an image. In this DVD, learn how to creatively use the NX2 features in your work. Vincent pulls all the features together for you as he applies the NX2 tools to real images. Watch these images transform in front of your eyes! It’s not only fun to watch, but it will open your mind to possibilities that you can then apply to your own images. For those interested in infrared (IR), Vincent has expanded upon the IR segment in the first Capture NX DVD set, and in this DVD covers three different types of IR and the benefits of each. Learn more about IR, including how to shoot for maximum detail and how to make the choices in NX2 to maximize the captured detail. In addition, you will see images of clouds and flowers, and will learn to combine several features to create more powerful images than you would have thought possible within a RAW file. Also, you will learn how to retouch a photograph to get a classic black and white look. Get the full understanding of the why of the technique and how it fits in to the workflow so that you can apply them to your own images.
