Conflict Management

The

Conflict Management pull-down menu enables you to choose how Capture NX 2 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 watched folder. This option

will automatically add the enhancements from the settings file to all of the images processed by the
watched folder.

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 within the images processed by
the watched folder.

Skip & Continue

The

Skip & Continue option will automatically skip any image in which a conflict was identified

without processing that image. An error entry will be created within the log file informing you the name
of the image and the time that the conflict was identified.

Use Settings Files

By selecting this option, you will be able to select a settings file to apply to
the images placed within the watched folder.

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 watched folder 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.
