Nikon NX studio

[Øivind Tøien]

I run Win10 on my old PC.
Maybe the install program was able to detect my Win version and selected the latest version that works on Win10?
The installation file is from 16/10-2025 and has 010901 in the filename.

Yes, same version as I am running on Win10.

[Bruno Schroder]

I upgraded yesterday and it installed 010901 on Win11. I had to explicitly look for 1.10.0 and install it again to get it.

I've bumped in exports of cropped pictures not showing the crop although it shows them as cropped in the app. Close and restart solved the issue with new crops.

For anyone looking for older versions of Nikon NX Studio...

Softpedia has NX Studio versions 1.5.0 to 1.9.1 on their Softpedia Secure Server (US). I used their search feature with, e.g. NX Studio 1.7 to locate the download pages. They offer both Windows EXE and MAC DMG installers.

Best,

Just installed 1.10.0 on my Win11Pro box. NX Studio still is next to useless for files stored on network drives; in fact, it is so slow as to redefine the concept of 'glacially slow'. Browsing remote directories is an exercise in futility.

I have stored a copy of 1.7.x in my remote program storage, so will uninstall 1.10 and try 1.7; the latter works passably fine under Win10.

I managed to get NX Studio 1.7.0 installed on my Win11Pro box, after removing the bad 1.10 version.

NXS 1.7 does not require NikonID login and runs a tad faster. Still very slow browsing on networked drives, but once the software decides there are acceptable NEFs to be found, it treats them much faster than the 1.10. Zooming in and out is quick, changing exposure and other adjustsments occur without too worrisome delays. For files on the local machine, 1.7 operates pretty fast.

I consider the slowness and troublesome behavior of 1.9/1.10 to be the classic symptom of two companies co-operating in a bad manner. Both Nikon and Microsoft are to blame for the unusefulness of NX Studio 1.10.

Due to the hint in the thread I installed 1.10 and have no trouble runnig it fast and reliable. The glitches that earlier Nikon Sofware was known for I do not experience. Maybe my super fast box is the reason for that?

NX Studio is very fast on my *local machine*, but unusable on networked storage.

That has been the issue with Nikon products for years.

Mac Studio M4 Max with 64GB 40 core GPU: Nikon NX studio is very slow when moving sliders. Picture gets refreshed after the slider is released.

Thinkpad P53, 12 cores, 128GB RAM, 2TB NVMe disks: local files process very quickly. Networked files: nearly unusable.

Isn't that normal behavior for NX Studio?

I'm not saying that is great just that I think that's normal.

Here is a link to an original Nikon page to download NX Studio 1.7.1 if this version is preferred. macOS or Windows versions are available here...

I recently upgraded NX Studio from 1.5.0 to 1.10.0 but I don't want to mess with the NikonID login so I've downgraded to NX Studio 1.7.1. It was pretty painless on this 24" iMac M1 as there is an uninstall app provided by Nikon.

Then we share the local experience, because that is a good machine and , yes , I cannot test remote drives to veryfy your data , mine is i9 14900 (24 core / 32 Threads) with 64Gb of DDR5 RAM and a 5500 MB/s NVW RAID configuration. Question: Why do you not download the file to be edited into a local caching drive and re-upload the edited drive to your Sever-Farm?

[Birna Rørslett]

Because that is not how I work, Frank. Whether or not I do local processing first, either "on the road" or at home, I will later have to do another browsing series on the daily catalogues. Which are on the networked drives.

I hope you have a backup brain who will understand your system, once your brain will not work in the way needed it in your IT ecosystem
