DESCRIPTION

Nikon Capture NX is a full-scale digital-image processing and editing software application for digital photographers, descended from Nikon Capture.

Capture NX now provides:

  • Powerful U PointTM technology powered Color Control Points that enable the user to directly enhance the image selectively, without the use of masks, selections, or layers.
  • Continued ability to apply every tool non-destructively (Requires the user to save their image with NEF. Original file can be JPEG, TIFF, or NEF). Selective tools such as the Selection Brush and Selection Gradient that can be used to selectively apply any of the enhancements.
  • 25 new tools and enhancements, ranging from the Black, White, and Neutral Control Point tools that enable the user to remove color casts and set their image's dynamic range, to the Distortion Correction enhancement that enables the user to reduce barrel and pincushion type distortions in their images.
  • A highly-featured browser.
  • Tutorials are available at capturenx.com, click on Tutorials.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.3.3:
  • Support for RAW images captured with the D3 (A and B firmware v1.10 and later), and the "Vignette Control" option enabled, has been added.
  • New "Artist, Copyright, and Vignette Control" items have been added to the Camera Settings palette. In addition, the categories displayed in the Camera Settings palette have been changed from "File / Shooting Info / Picture Control / Flash, and GPS" to "File Info / Shooting Info / Picture Control and GPS". Items in each category have been modified.
  • An issue that caused an error to occur with some systems when opening an image saved in TIFF format with LZW compression has been resolved.
  • When a folder containing a Dust Off Reference photo was selected from the Dust Off Settings Palette, accessed from "1.Base Adjustments / RAW Adjustments / Dust Off" , for use with a RAW image captured with the D1X or D1H, an alert stating that "No Dust Off reference photo was present" would display, and the Reference Photo could not be used. This issue has been resolved.
  • When a white balance settings file, saved with "fine tuning" of the "Calculate Automatically" option in the White Balance settings palette, accessed from "1. Base Adjustments / RAW Adjustments / White Balance", was applied to another image, the white balance settings were not reflected. This issue has been resolved.
  • When Picture Control settings were applied to a RAW image captured with a camera that does not support Picture Control from the Quick Adjustment category in the View NX Camera Settings palette, an the image was then opened in Capture NX, the Picture Control setting in the Picture Control settings palette, accessed from 1. Base Adjustments / Camera Adjustments / Picture Control , remainedNon-Picture Control. This issue has been resolved

    Nikon Capture NX User Reviews (13 posts)Write A Review

    SANDAL  I have a new macbook with Leopard and have photoshop cs2. I have been using iphoto to keep track/organize the photos but am disappointed that it does not keep track of all my camera settings for each image. For example, white balance doesn't seem to be captured. I haven't loaded the basic software nikon packed with my d80 (picture perfect?) but maybe that's what I need to try. I just heard that I couldn't work with RAW images without Nikon Capture nx and I didn't really want to pay the $150 for it. I could use advice on software that would be best to capture all Nikon camera settings, organize with ease and work in RAW, perferably for a decent price. From the reviews here and others I've seen, Capture NX is cumbersome and not working with Leopard that well anyway. Thanks!   (Version 1.3.2)

    PAULSRANDALL  This update appears to work with Leopard. It crashes immediately on a PowerPC running Tiger 10.4.11. A re-install of version 1.3.1 works fine in Tiger.  (Version 1.3.2)

    MACINEN  Great editing software! I almost always get better results with Capture NX than PS (except when I need many layers or need more graphical changes to a picture). The resulting picture (taken with D80) has less noise and is somehow more clear than wiht PS, I just don't know why. From the tools Color control point is the most amazing thing - fast and efective means to a great picture. Keep up the great work!  (Version 1.3)
