NX studio only works with RAW images as I have learned. I have 2 cards, one for RAW and the other for the jpg files. I did select RAW as the default so I could edit the images - the files are massive!

Exposure: on previous advice from yourself, I have been careful to keep an eye on the ISO settings, and any exposure compensation has been kept to zero. The shot was taken just after noon,and as the verandah faces just west of south, the sun was pretty much overhead. I looked at the file data and spot metering was selected. ISO was at 640 so that probably explains the overexposure. Aperture f8, shutter 1/250. What I do remember is that I did not have the lens hood on, although I did have a UV filter fitted.(for what it's worth).

I intended to play around with the image in NX Studio, but I was sucked into finding why the Transfer 2 program insists in locating the files from the camera in Onedrive. Good ol' Windows - what a p.i.t.a.- I delete Onedrive , and Windows updates reinstalls the blighter!! I think I have sorted it any way.

I still have the .NEF files - I export the images as jpg anyway - which is why you found the resolution low - I think.

I play with the images in the .NEF format- most of the tools aren't available for jpg images.

I'm looking forward to receiving my Kenko x1.4 converter :-)

Grappling with new equipment can be a steep learning curve but it sounds like you are getting there. :thumbs:
