Hey Terry!

This link was a godsend. I’ve had extreme Camera Control Pro 2 software failure in the past couple days and am at my wit’s end with Nikon’s tech support. Your link saved me from pulling all of my hair out. You’ve earned a new blog follower!

Hi Megan,
Actually there’s nothing to link up. Sofortbild downloads your shots to a folder. That’s all it does. Then you setup lightroom to Auto Import (under the File menu) the shots from that folder.

Hi I downloaded the Sofortibild software for Mac and I am trying to link it up with my lightroom but it is only allowing me to link it up with Aperture and iPhoto. Any idea how I link it up with Lighroom? Is there something I need to do in Lightroom?

Thanks,

Amazing software especially for the price. I just did 43 groups in two days with virtually no problems. Would be a great Christmas present if it were fully compatible with Windows 7 really soon. I’ve been running it in “Compatibilty mode” for Windows Vista and works well enough… I HIGHLY recommend this software. (*****)

It’s shipping for Nikon, Terry. Check it out. :~)

For the Windows users out there, I’ve recently found an excellent alternative called “NKRemote” and it pretty much controls all the major camera settings, offers previews, time lapses etc. Also, and that was the reason why I even got to it, it works with Windows 7 RC! (at this point I usually start ranting about how Nikon hasn’t managed to come out with a 64bit driver yet…)
Anyway, it’s at http://www.breezesys.com/NKRemote/index.htm

Enrico, doesn’t that then make Aperture the “middleware” ?

While I totally prefer Lightroom fr my photo editing, Apple Aperture offers this feature without the need for any “middleware”.
Just connect the camera to USB (I tried with a D90) and start the tethering from the file menu. In a few seconds after the image has been shoot, it appears on the monitor.

Marc, I just plug it in and I’m very careful as to where I step. Always looking down before I move.

Hi Terry,

how do you connect the cable to the camera?
I always fear that i tear it down when stepping on the cable.

Have you ever tried something like those?

Have a nice one,

This is wonderful. Thanks Terry. I tried another public domain program a while back but could not get it to work with my setup. I am about to start teaching a small class and this will be very useful. I enjoy the blog. Kudos.

Joe, most don’t support LV.
