Getting Started
How to Print
Printing is very easy in Capture NX. You
can select Print from the File Menu at
any time to print the current image, or
you can select multiple images from
within the Browser to create a Print
Package. Print Packages are essentially
a collection of images printed at the
same time, often with more than one
image appearing on the same page.
Print Packages make the most out of
your printer and paper, enabling you
to create proof sheets so that you can
review and select images based on
the output, rather than the computer
monitor.
Once you have selected Print from the
File Menu, you can identify how to
color manage your prints and whether
or not you want to create a Print
Package.
For a complete descrip-
tion of the various settings within the
Capture NX Print dialog, please see
page 117.
Batch Processing
Batch Processing is the automatic appli-
cation of one or more enhancements to
a series of images. Typically a photogra-
pher will use a batch process to apply a
predefined series of adjustments to several
images at once. Capture NX supports a
number of batch processing methods. You
can run a traditional Batch Process, select-
ing a folder of images and a Settings File
to apply to those images, you can copy
and paste your enhancements from one
image to another, or you can select multi-
ple images in the Browser and apply a
Settings File or paste some enhancements
directly to those images. One method
of applying a batch process is to create
a Settings File that contains a series of
enhancements to apply to your image.
Creating a Settings File
Settings Files consist of a series of
instructions that Capture NX can use
to enhance one or more images in
the future. Settings Files are created
by identifying enhancements that
you want to save from the current
image. Later, when you apply the new
Settings File to an image or group of
images, Capture NX will apply the same
enhancements with the same settings
