Nikon Capture 4 Editor Preferences

The Performance Tab

The Performance tab contains the following:

Save large previews for NEF files

Image files normally include an embedded preview 640 pixels on its longest size. If this option is checked, images saved in NEF will include a preview 1,600 pixels on its lon- gest side, allowing NEF images over 1,600 pixels long to display more quickly in Nikon Viewer.

Use Save Progress Window

Select this option to display the Save Progress Window while images are saved (Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Mac OS X only; 87). Note that this may increase the time needed to save images on computers with less than 512 MB of RAM.

Enable Color Aberration Control

Select this option to automatically perform color aberration control when opening RAW im- ages taken with Nikon digital SLR cameras. When this option is selected, color aberration control is automatically applied when opening images that have not previously been edited in Nikon Capture 4.3 or later. Color aberration control can subsequently be turned on and off using the Color Aberration Control option in the Nikon Capture 4 Editor Image menu ( 28); if the Color Aberration Control option is off when the image is saved, color aberration control will not be performed when the image is next opened, even if Enable Color Aberra- tion Control is selected in the Preferences dialog.

The Periodically check for new files in this folder and Delete files from this folder after they are processed options are not available in the batch progress dialog when Use Save Progress Window is selected ( 93).
