P: Display Focus Points

I am testing Nikon Capture NX2 right now; it works much better with Nikon RAW files and does everything I want except it's not as good at going through 500 files at a time. My guess is that I will transition to Capture NX2 or Capture One over time, and rely on Bridge and/or Expression Media for browsing and/or cataloguing.

1 thing that might tide you over:

ExifMeta can display the IDs of which focus points were active. So, you can make a cheat sheet for yourself: shoot a bunch of photo with different focus points selected, and use ViewNX or CNX2 to display the focus points and draw them, labeled, on the cheat sheet. After a while you won't need the cheat sheet anymore - or you can shoot it and import into Lightroom for reference...

I generally vote on something that I think would make LR a better product, regardless of whether I personally need it at the time.

Photographe - You come up with more good ideas than I do! ;-}

I have a Lightroom sidekick app that displays the focus points of the most-selected photo (presently works for Nikon D300 compatibles only, but will be user adaptable for other mfrs & models), unfortunately its not anywhere near ready for prime-time.

So, I don't know whether to vote for this or not. I think native focus-point display functionality would be good. So good that I've solved this problem for myself - and will be sharing when finished.

And yet, I acknowledge that not everyone will want to run the sidekick, and put up with its "seams"...

I wish there was a 0-10 voting scale, because I like this idea a lot, and would like to show support, but its not anywhere near top priority for me, because I've already got the aforementioned workaround for myself.

Cheers,
Rob
