By the way there is a good article here about NX Studio https://photographylife.com/nikon-nx-studio-is-not-bad
Not mentioned in the article is the ability to "Save all adjustments." If you have a series of similar images you can save all adjustments from one then apply the adjustments to the series. Avoid adjustments like straightening, cropping and color correction points at first, then later add the features and save ALL the settings unique to each NEF in separate *.nka files. The files saved are *.nka files and several can be save for one NEF if desired. These are under your control unlike the *.nksc side car files that are saved by NX Studio as it pleases. Also not mentioned is the ability to export an edited NEF as a 16 bit TIF for further editing in Photoshop or another editor.
Sometimes NX Studio plays dead for long periods while it scans lord knows what? I never close NX Studio (I mean never) and have mostly put that problem behind me. If I can't eject an eternal SSD i select a photo on the internal SSD and then I can eject the external.
My normal work flow is NX Studio to 16 bit TIF and then on to Photoshop.
