Hi Nikon Owners

I used NX2 and have a favorite setting on an older Pc which I use for batch process. I would really like to transfer this to another PC (newer and faster) 
I am very unsure how to do this .
Can you help Please. 
EG, USE sitck and then how to install , or should I try to see how I set up in the 1st place.

Many Many Thanks

Paul  

just noticed it opens and works in 16 bit yet Adobe offer 64 bit , which would be a better solution to edit images.
but still very happy with NX2 to a level.

If you have a new 64bit PC, you have to install the 64bit version of NX2 to get the best out of it.

Note that it is important to choose the 64BIT version.

The Operating System and CNX2 might be 64 or 32 bit but TIFF files will be 8 or 16 bit colour depth. You will not get the option to save an image file from standard software in 64 bit colour.

Where there's a Will, there's a way.

Presumably you mean a settings file such as the resize & slight sharpen one that I use for web preparation. If you have let CNX2 use its default settings then, on Win XP you will find in 'My Documents' folder a Capture NX folder that will contain the settings file:
C:\Documents and Settings\Will's Photo Imaging\My Documents\Capture NX\Settings Files
Depending on the settings you have used you might find it in a subfolder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Will's Photo Imaging\My Documents\Capture NX\Settings Files\Unsharp Mask 

To transfer this to another machine copy it onto a flash drive or similar and then copy it to the same folder location on the new machine. You might then need to go into CNX2 ( Edit / Preferences / Manage Settings ) to get the new installation to use it.

NB: I have only transfered settings between machines with a 32 bit OS, I have not transfered between machines running different bit versions of CNX2 so I do not know if the 64 bit version of CNX2 will read the settings files from a 32 bit version. When the 64 bit version of CNX2 was released at the turn of the year I did find not having the RAM limit of a 32 bit system to breath new life into CNX2.

Where there's a Will, there's a way.
