Next, I visited the the location of my wedding next week. Adath Israel synagogue has just gone through some MAJOR renovation and it's looks beautiful. Click here to see some interior views. You will have to wait till the week after next to see the wedding pics.Then it was back home to catch up with my friend Janice Wendt from Nik Software who was planning to give LaDawn and I the "full tilt boogie" tutorial on all Nik's latest offering. After I caught my breath, we set up a projector so we could watch Janice's demos on the big screen.
The first amazing software she showed was Capture NX. Nik Software developed the U-Point technology and now licenses it to other companies - currently Nikon is one of those companies. The Nik Software U-Point magic was evident in Capture NX. This software lets you easily make local adjustments to any part of the image without affecting other parts of the image. Words do not describe how cool this was. I've downloaded a trial of the software and will give you a peek hopefully next week. In the mean time check out the Capture NX web site here for some brief demos. Can't wait to see what Nik has in store for this technology in the future - stayed tuned.
She also showed us Dfine 2.0, Nik's latest "noise reduction" software. Most of you know I have been a big fan of Noise Ninja since it's beta. So I wanted to see how Dfine 2.0 - just released about a month ago - would compare. Janice's demo was impressive You can get more info and download a 15 day demo right here.
Niks' Color Efex Pro 2.0 and Nik Sharpener Pro 2.0 show some impressive possibilities too. Check out this page right here for demos on all Nik's products. Kind of fun to watch.
After 3 hours plus of Janice's gracious demonstrations, we headed out to dinner. It was a terrific day. On to Part 3 of today's posts.
