Greetings,
INTRODUCTION:
- I am a landscape photographer seeking to produce up to 24" x 36" prints for gallery display.
- I want to establish my digital workflow for my NEF files imported into the latest version of Capture One Pro from my Nikon D810.
QUESTIONS:
- When should I convert my NEF files into another format for A) importing into other outside apps (e.g., Photomatix or LR/PS--for HDR merging), B) printing and C) archiving. Would you recommend TIFF, DNG, and which format is best for which stage in this three-part process?
- Regarding HDR, I'm assuming that Photomatix is the best application for high dynamic range creation but what about the latest iterations of Lightroom and Photoshop?
- What else might I need to consider?
Thanks for your assistance as I try to establish my workflow in this superb hobby.
