Workflow Suggestions

JPEG

The JPEG file format is one of the most widely used file formats. This file format enables you to save a greater
number of images using the same amount of hard disk space as the other file formats. To create such a small
file size, a form of compression is used that irreversibly affects the quality of the image. Because of this
compression, it is recommended that you only use the JPEG file format when a small file size is required.

Workflow Suggestions

When using Capture NX 2 to edit images, the following order is recommended:

1

Start with characteristics that affect the entire image, such as removing digital noise, fixing color

casts, and reducing tonal issues (such as brightness of contrast issues).
