Many thanks for your informative and easy to follow explanation of this approach! And more thanks for the download link since I was feeling a tad lazy this morning. It worked like a charm when I applied it to two recently shot informal portraits, and the only additional steps needed were to apply Adjust/Focus/Unsharp Mask to the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. The difference between the original images and the final product were, as Mark Twain said, like the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning! I'm in your debt!

Vr,

Bruce

Richard,

Thank you for your comment. I use Capture NX on Windows computers. The program stores the settings file in a folder like this on Vista:

C:\Users\Max\Documents\Capture NX\Settings Files

If you store the settings file in the default locations, you don't have to browse to find them. Other than that, it should be ok to store it anywhere you'd like.

Thank you very much; it's a very well-written explanation.

Thanks, too, for the settings file; I downloaded the file and tried it just now; it works very well.

On a related matter, do you commonly store your batch settings within a certain folder?; on OS X, Capture NX appears to store settings within one or more folders in a dedicated folder here:

/*/Library/Preferences/Capture NX/Settings/_

[where * is the name of the user and _ is a folder or folders within which Capture NX stores batch settings]
