Experiences with Nikon D750 and Aperture

Hi,
a few weeks ago I bought a Nikon D750 – my camera before was a Nikon D700.
All in all I am disappointed about the quality of my photos with the D750 in Aperture – they’re all 14bit RAWs without compression. The problems e. g. are:
- Photos shot with the D750 at low light conditions at home are too much colour saturated - especially there’s too much red in it.
- Contrast is much too high.
- Dark areas are often black without details.
I looked at many of these photos in Adobe’s Lightroom. The RAW intepretation seems a bit better (especially regarding contrast and dark areas) but has other problems (e. g. with skin tones).
I made a few comparision photos with my D750 and the D700. All in all the D700 makes a much better job in home light conditions. You can see more details in the photos, colour saturation and contrast are better.
Can anyone confirm these problems? At the moment I am not sure if it is a problem of the D750 (which is reviewed everywhere so excellent!) or of the CameraRAW interpretation of Apple. Will future Camera RAW updates mabye have better interpretations?
Regards, Ulf

To illustrate, what I mean: I shot today a photo (nothing special) with my lensbaby fisheye lens in low light.
That’s the way the photo looks like in Aperture 3.6 (I tried to improve it a bit):
In Apertue the photo has to much contrast. But reducing it makes the photo ugly. You can also see that dark parts of the photo (not the black) tend to be brown and the transition between black and brown looks terrible.
The Same photo processed and also a bit improved with Lightroom 5.7 looks a lot better:
You can see a lot more details - details you can never get with Aperture.
In my opinion Apple’s camera raw for the Nikon D750 makes a very bad job. A lot of my photos can not good be processed in Aperture.
Does anyone with the D750 make same experiences?

  • Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

    Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

    Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the latest version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 on Novemder 18th 2014.
    Further updates to LR 4 were stopped when LR 5 was released on June 9th 2013. No further updates for bug fixes and new camera support.
    Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced into the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was discontinued.
    You can use the Adobe DNG program (free download for the package) to convert the Nef (raw) files from your Nikon D750 to the Adobe DNG format which will permit you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow for the processing of raw files with outdated versions of LR and ACR.
    You can also update the ACR plugin for PS CS6 to version 8.7 which can also work with the raw files from the D750. For direct support in Lightroom you will need to upgrade (paid) to version 5.7.

  • I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?

    I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?
    My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

    DNG Converter is FREE.  Yes, really.  No subscription needed.
    - Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
    Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    - Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
    Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
    See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
    http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
    - Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
    Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
    - Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
    If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
    "Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
    - I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

  • Nikon D750 and Lightroom

    I just received a Nikon D750 and am unable to import my RAW files into Lightroom. I recognizes them in the first step but will not download them. I shoot in RAW and have done the 5.6 update.

    As I said, you can import your DNGs into Lightroom.
    You download the software, run the installer program, and then run the program. Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube

  • Any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?

    Hi,
    In my company I work with java developers who believe in some kind of "holly" database independence I don't understand and as a result my life as a database developer is hell on earth.. Yesterday we again started to discuss, this time where to log, they believe database is slow and prefer logging to filesystem, after some hours finally I could convince them for some operational and reporting needs to use the database and will do this in an asyncronous way whiich they won't get slow. After all I believe the reason for a database is data, this is the place where data lives, and with the correct desing and implementation logging to database would perform better.
    I love Oracle features, and know that we paid a lot for this software, so today I started investigating this promised solution. And quickly I found AQ and JMS topics in the documentation :)
    After this introduction here is my problem; my company use BEA Weblogic as application server and the java guys want AQ to automatically (but of course with some delay) take their JMS log requests into database tables. Does any one have similar application experience, or any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?
    Any comments, references, documentation, sample code, url will be most welcomed :)
    Thank you very much!

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/web_services/jmsws/NewsQueueEJB.java.html

    I wouldn't go as far to say Oracle AQ is out-dated today. However, it is indeed a proprietary technology that did not found much main-stream adoption in the earlier years after its introduction. The advent of JMS made it somewhat more useful (or should I say intriguing, because more people are trying to tie it together with other J2EE technologies), but the Oracle's JMS wrapper classes in aqapi.jar were not feature complete for a long while, so using it outside Oracle's application server was painful, if not impossible. I do agree that the info at the dev2dev's JMS newsgroup or in this forum is highly fragmented, as neither Oracle nor BEA provides an official solution to integrate AQ with WebLogic, so people like us have to learn the technology through experimentation and in a piecemeal fashion.
    3 years ago I was literally "playing around" - we had a polling mechanism set up to use triggers to write Oracle data changes into an event table, and had a Java-based daemon to scan that table and publish events as JMS messages to the WebLogic JMS server. This continues to work reliably till today, but I was looking for a solution that has few parts - I wanted to hook up my WebLogic MDB directly to AQ as a foreign JMS provider. Although I was able to get it to work (including XA), there were a few hoops I had to jump through, such as decompiling the Oracle AQjms classes to make them bind to the WebLogic JNDI tree.
    One year after that Diptanshu Parui took what I did a giant step further - he extended the Oracle AQjms classes to allow them to be bound to the WebLogic JNDI tree naturally, and he figured out how to use WebLogic JMS messging bridge to re-send single-threaded AQ JMS messages to clustered JMS queues, which allow concurrent message assumption by multiple instances of MDB's. My impression is that he is using that setup in a production environment.
    I am sure you are aware of it but I would like to make it clear - in order to use AQ as a foreign JMS provider to WebLogic-hosted MDB's, you don't need to update your database to Oracle 10g - Oracle 8i is good enough (although I recommend at least 9i Release 2). It is not the database engine, but rather the aqapi.jar JMS wrapper on top of AQ that matters. I do recommend that you use aqapi.jar from Oracle Application Server 10.0.3 or up for better XA support, among other things. Again, you don't have to replace WebLogic with Oracle AS - you only need a single jar file from it and put it in your WebLogic's classpath. However, I don't know what this means from a licensing point of view if you ever go to production - do you have to pay the full price of OracleAS or OC4J just to use the aqapi.jar?
    In the coming days I will test the latest aqapi.jar to see how much progress Oracle has made in terms of making their J2EE products more spec-compliant :-).
    Hope the above gives you a different perspective.

  • When will come the new raw version update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with Nikon D750 support?

    Hello Adobe,
    When will come the new raw version update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with Nikon D750 support?
    Best regards
    Frank

    There won't be an update for Lightroom 4. The only way you can work with your D750 raw files is to use the free standalone DNG converter to create DNG copies. If you want to be able to work on the NEF files then you will have to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in. Everything is part of the Lightroom program. If you want to stay current with Lightroom then you need to follow the update/upgrade path. That means purchasing each new major version of Lightroom or subscribing to the creative cloud plan.

  • What about upgrade with nikon D750

    WHEN ADOBE WILL UPGRADE CS6 WITH NIKON D750?

    Moise:
    I too am looking for D750 support under CS6, so thanks for asking about this.
    Take a look at the page corresponding to the link GautamBahl posted (Thanks, Gautam!):

    On the right side of the page under Top Technologies there us a link to Camera Raw 8.7 CS6. Looks like this is what we need.

  • Experience with iPod nano and iPod socks?

    After discussing with the Apple Helpline about the scratches on my nano, they quickly proposed to send my some iPod socks for free in order to protect the nano (is this like implicitely admitting that something went wrong?).
    My question: Does anybody have experience with iPod socks and the nano, i.e. do they scratch the nano as well (as somebody on another forum has posted)?

    lol, good one James. + for you.
    I remember this same thing with the iPod Mini. That was released in February 2004 and there were a huge number of cases by around April. But the mini was announced in January which ment the third party makers had a whole month to design and make cases.
    The ironic thing....people didnt need a case for the mini. Its was scratch resistant to begin with, however the nano is damaged by finger acid!!!

    PS: James, off topic, but do you use your iPods for different reasons, as im trying to think of ways to justify having three aswell?

  • Nikon P7000 and Aperture with latest RAW support

    Hi,
    Does anybody have the same issues with RAW files from the Nikon P7000 in Aperture with the latest RAW support update?
    Aperture is showing the wrong ISO and not the 35mm zoom length.
    It's showing always 6400 ISO.
    Regards,
    JO

    I can confirm that. The EXIF seems to be wrong, no matter which software you use to read it. Happens only with full auto iso selected it seems. Unfortunately not only does the actual iso not match the EXIF value, the auto iso algorithm seems to have flaws aswell. In brightest sunlight we have experienced actual iso values of probably at least 3200 if not 6400 choosing a ridiculous values of f/2.8 with 1/1000s in P mode.... My D7000 chose something around iso 125 under he exact same conditions.... So yet another firmware update for the P7000 is hopefully on it's way - other than that: really great camera that could replace my d7000 if carrying the DSLR is impossible.

  • Nikon D200 and Aperture ?

    Any thoughts on whether Aperture will import raw NEF files from the Nikon D200 ?
    Other photographers that have this camera on preorder are stating that dec 15th seems like a pretty firm shipping date.
    My D100 works just fine...Should the D200 be much different with NEF files ?

    Nikon have a bad reputation for keeping third party manufactureres up to date with their RAW formats. WHo can forget the debacle over the encripted white-balance formats in the D70s, D50 and D2x Raw formats last year?
    I wrote an article on this for Photography Monthly magazine at the time, and when I spoke to Nikon for comment it was apparant that they regretted trying to force consumers into buying Nikon's software. Even so, since then it takes longer for suport for Nikon cameras to appear in programs such as Camera Raw, compared with other manufacturers like Canon, Olympus and Pentax.
    If Aperture is supposed to be a truly professional application then there is no excuse for not supporting a camera like the Nikon D200, which has been on the market since December. As a consumer I don't really care whose fault this is I just want it sorting out as soon as possible.
    I'm reviewing Aperture for Photography Monthly at the moment. I started off thinnking "Five stars - best thing I've ever seen", but now I'm down to "three stars - looks great, performs adequately, major problems in some areas". And this is one of the areas!

  • Is there a plug in yet to use photoshop elements 12 with nikon d750

    I want to use Photoshop Elements 12 with my Nikon D750. Is there a raw plug in yet ?

    No, and it is expected that PSE 12 will not get any further updates.
    If you don't want to upgrade to PSE 13, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter. Use that to convert your NEF files to DNG files which can then be used by PSE 12.

  • Camera Connector with Nikon D2x and 5G 60gb iPod

    Has anyone had experience with the D2x (Nikon) and the camera connector on a 5G 60gb iPod?
    The camera is compatable with Mass Storage and PTP. The camera works great with iPhoto...plug it in and iPhoto opens and you click the button to download.
    Also, I see that the new iPod has a longer lasting battery. Does this help when downloading a large card.
    By the way, I called Belkin and their camera connectors are NOT compatable with the new 5G models and the guy said that there is nothing on the drawing board.
    G5 Dual 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   3.5gb RAM; 400gb HD

    I purchased the 60gb iPod-Video (5G) and after several failed attempts I found the proceedure to upload photos on to the iPod using an Apple camera connector with my D2x. Here goes:
    First, reset the ipod (just a precaution...hold down the center button with the Menu button for 6 sec). The screen will go black with a golden apple in the center. The menu will display after a short period.
    Turn on the ipod (if it isn't already on from the above proceedure).
    Plug in the camera connector to the iPod (without the USB cable attached).
    Attach the USB cable to your camera and turn on the camera.
    Plug in the cable from the camera to the camera connector which is attached to the iPod.
    Wait 20-30 sec and it should work.
    I tested the speed in both PTP mode and Mass Storage mode. The import for both was 200mb.
    PTP = 3minutes 10 sec
    Mass Storage 1 minute 59 sec.
    The battery did go down a lot (about 1/4 after both imports), but after you detach the camera connector and go back to the main menu, it seems to go back up to about 95% full.
