Nikon Capture NX Editor's Review

When it comes to image editing there is simply no shortage of software nowadays. In fact, the abundance of such applications can leave you spoilt for choice. However, for various niches of users there are specific applications that can be used for light to hardcore image manipulation. If you are a photography enthusiast and want a capable image editing application that is compatible with DSLR or digital cameras by Nikon, consider Capture NX. This application is made by the Japanese digital imaging giant. It is a non-destructive photo editing application that is compliant with most Nikon cameras and supports highest quality RAW images.
Nikon Capture NX can be used on PCs with Windows XP and later editions. The application is not cheap but offers enough value for its price. It supports existing Nikon software like Camera Control Pro 2. You will need a moderately powerful PC to run this application smoothly. It also requires .NET Framework version 4.0 to be installed on the computer. While the application can be installed in PCs with 64-bit Windows versions, it will run in 32-bit mode.

The interface of Nikon Capture NX has a sleek grey and white color scheme which looks nice. It includes an integrated explorer which makes file searching and management easier for users. The application supports TIFF, JPEG and some other file formats along with Nikon’s own RAW format, NEF. You can open and deal with many images at the same time.

Nikon Capture NX lets you edit images to an extent but that cannot be compared to editing compatibilities you get in mainstream image editing applications. However, commonplace settings like brightness, contrast adjustment and noise reduction are there. You can also rotate and crop photos easily with this application.

Based on the Nikon camera model you have, you can change color profile with this application. The company adds support for newer camera models with updates periodically. There are a few filters that you can tinker with. The batch process feature is handy when you want to perform same editing for a number of images quickly. It is possible to apply saved adjustment configurations on pictures in a folder specified by you.

The USP of the application is its 'Control Points'. The 'Red Eye Control Point' is something photographers will find really useful. The Auto Retouch Brush can be comrade to Photoshop’s widely used healing Brush. If you are looking for a responsive image editing application for digital image manipulation, Capture NX2 may dishearten you. Even in beefy PCs, it tends to be sluggish at times.

Positive Points:
-    Sleek interface.
-    Bach processing feature saves time.
-    'Control Points' are ideal for advanced users.

Negative Points:
-    Can be really slow at times.
-    Not very affordable.

Conclusion:
Nikon Capture NX is aimed at a niche section of users, those who own Nikon branded DSLRS or digital cameras. The application works seamlessly with almost all Nikon models in market and there is nothing complicated about work-flow. The interface is sleek though not as stunning as that of rivals like Photoshop Lightroom. The Control Points will make image manipulation really simple for users. However, the application is not much responsive and this can be an irritant while dealing with large files. Unless you are a veteran Nikon user, it makes sense to use third party digital image manipulation software.

Rating: 3/5







Nikon Capture NX Publisher's Description

Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the exciting new Capture NX 2 photo editing software. An evolution of the original award-winning Capture NX software released in 2006, Capture NX 2 makes it even easier to make quick and powerful photographic edits so you can spend more time making photographs and less time editing them on the computer.

The original Capture NX software introduced the world to direct on-image editing. This revolutionary new development was the basis of the Color Control Point tool which enabled photographers of all levels to easily adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, color and warmth on specific elements of a picture such as sky, skin, grass, etc. This made it possible to choose any area of a photograph for editing without the need for complicated selections or masking techniques.

Capture NX 2 introduces the all-new Selection Control Point tool, which allows users to carry out nearly any image adjustment to a specific area with just a point-and-click to make the selection. Whether applying an Unsharp Mask to just the eyes in a portrait, a Gaussian Blur to only the background of a photograph or D-Lighting to open up the shadows, the Selection Control Point makes it easy to do. What once was a complex and tedious task now takes just a fraction of the time.

The newly developed Auto Retouch Brush allows you to simply apply a few mouse strokes to clear away spots, blemishes or other unwanted distractions that appear in a picture. Photographers can quickly and effectively achieve the results they are looking for without having to learn all new methods and skills.

The Capture NX 2 interface has been updated by adding &Workspaces& to optimize the screen layout. Four preset Workspaces such as &Browser& and &Edit& can be selected as well as a number of user-defined workspaces that optimize single or multiple monitors for the ideal screen layout. The Edit List has been reorganized to allow easier access to most settings. Further, it maximizes the picture display area while simplifying the editing process by allowing multiple edits to be viewed simultaneously.

With this range of impressive tools many shooters will find Capture NX 2 to be a great stand-alone photo editing solution, while others will discover that it's a remarkably effective addition to their existing photographic editing workflow and process.
