Nikon Transfer, now included with Nikon View NX 2, is particularly well-suited for D7000 owners, because it integrates easily with other Nikon software products, includ- ing View NX and Nikon Capture NX2. You can download photos to your computer, and then continue to work on them in the Nikon application (or third-party utility) of your choice.

When a memory card is inserted into a card reader, or when the D7000 is connected to your computer through a USB cable, Nikon Transfer recognizes the device, searches it for thumbnails, and provides a display like the one shown in Figure 13.2. You can preview the images and mark the ones you want to transfer with checks to create a Transfer Queue.

Then, click on the Primary Destination tab (see Figure 13.3) and choose a location for the photos that will be transferred. Nikon Transfer can create a new folder for each trans- fer based on a naming convention you set up (click the Edit button next to the box at top center in the figure), or copy to a folder named after the current folder in the D7000’s memory card. You can keep the current filename as the files are transferred, or assign a new name with a prefix you designate, such as Spain07_ . The program will add a number from 001 to 999 to the filename prefix you specify.

After Nikon Transfer dis- plays thumb- nails of the images on your memory card or camera, mark the ones you want to transfer.
