Run Batch Process

Apply Settings

Check this box if you would like to apply a settings file to your image or if you would like to revert any NEF
files to their original state. Unchecking this box will ensure that the enhancements found within the image
are not changed from their last saved state.

Batch Mode

Conflict Management

The

Conflict Management pull-down menu enables you to choose how Capture NX should resolve

potential conflicts that may arise while performing a batch process on NEF images. You can choose from
the following options:

Append New Settings

The

Append New Settings option is the default option when applying a batch process. This option

will automatically add the enhancements from the settings file to all of the images affected by the batch
process.

Replace Current Settings

The

Replace Current Settings option will apply the enhancements from the settings file to all images

and will overwrite any enhancements that may already be contained with the images affected by the
batch process.

Show Differences

The

Show Differences option enables you to interact with the “Show Differences” dialog for any

images that already contain enhancements. With this process, you can choose which enhancements to
replace and which enhancements to keep within the images affected by the batch process.

Rename

By checking the

Rename checkbox, Capture NX 2 will rename the images using the naming system found

within the File Naming dialog. Click on the Edit button to display the File Naming dialog. For more
information, please see the “File Naming Dialog” section later in this chapter.

Select File Format

Choose a file format for processed images from the Select File Format pull-down menu. The following
options are available:

Use Settings File

By selecting this option, you will be able to select a settings file to apply to
the images identified in the “Source” section.

Browse
Click on the

Browse button within the Apply Settings section to locate

a settings file to apply to the images.

Use Original Settings

By selecting this option, Capture NX 2 will revert any NEF processed through
the batch process to the state prior to when any enhancements were made
to it through Capture NX 2. This includes both RAW NEF files, which will be
processed to the original settings created by the camera, or Converted NEF
files, which will remove all enhancements made within Capture NX 2.
