Hi,
4.1.0 is old and does write some stuff to the NEF files the Nikon libraries
shipped with IMatch cannot read. Nikon 4.1.2 is OK. Nikon 4.1.3 available in
some countries is bad again because it requires an update of the libraries used
in IMatch to read the NEF files again. What a mess.
Nikon has released a new set of DLLs with D2X support a couple of days ago. I
will ship these libs with the next intermediate version of IMatch. But I don't
know with which version of Nikon Capture, Nikon View or Nikon PhotoSomething
these libraries are compatible, sorry. Nikon is currently messing up their
software portfolio big time as it seems.

Mario, (or Tom)
I read in this thread that you have Nikon Capture 4.1.2 and that it works with
existing NEF formats.
I have iMatch 3.4.0.30 and I tried Nikon Capture 4.1.0. this weekend (even an
earlier version that the one you mention). Any file NEF touched by Nikon Capture
does not show properly anymore in iMatch. I only get a sort of thumbnail without
any of the modifications that I did in Nikon Capture.
Is there any solution to this problem? The NEF files are created with a Nikon
D70.
Gruesse,
Oscar.
