So, in anticipation of shooting in RAW with my soon to arrive P1000, I installed NX studio on my Windows 10 laptop, and found a sample *.NRW file on the web. When I load up the file and export, either to highest-quality JPG, or TIFF, lots of colors are lost!
Look at the first image which it a snippet of an exported JPG. (I can't upload NRW files to Imgur, but this gets the point across. The exported TIFF looks exactly like the exported JPG, missing the same details.
Not too hard to see the red streaks on the old doors on the first picture, and the missing details on the second picture.
I then downloaded some sample Nikon *.NEF files, and the export trashes the colors the same way. Look how it dulls the Red-winged Blackbird's red spot. Again, the TIFF export looks exactly the same as the JPG export.
I'm using the default settings. Is the software really this bad, or can I fix it with some tweaks?
I'll of course test with my camera before next weekend's planned long birding hike, but if I can't sort this out by then, I'm going to shoot in JPG.
You have to admit a lot is lost with the exports.
What the heck!
