U
Point ™ technology
U Point™ is patented technology exclusive to
Capture NX that allows easy selection of image
areas according to points of interest. Its interface
turns the application of effects and enhancements
into an intuitive photographic process not found in
the complicated computer graphic procedures of
typical photo editing software. U Point™ combines
with the extensive Nikon Capture toolbox for NEF
to offer an unsurpassed set of features. And, its
powerful photo image processing and editing tools
can also be applied to JPEG and TIFF files from
most any digital camera.
T
he highly versatile, elegantly simple
photo editing solution
Featuring a new interface that provides easier
a c c e s s to p o w e r f u l a n d v i s u a l l y i n t u i t i ve
enhancement tools, Nikon’s Capture NX software
helps photographers to tap the full potential of
NEF images. This new software also adds support
for JPEG and TIFF processing to satisfy a broader
range of photofinishing needs and applications.
T
he NEF advantage
NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) satisfies ever-
changing photographic needs with extended range
and versatility. Each NEF file contains not only the
RAW image data captured by the image sensor,
but also a thumbnail image and an all-important
“Instruction Set” of the recorded original settings
from the time the image was captured. The RAW
data is never altered, regardless how many times
the file is opened and new renditions saved.

Software versatility and elegance help realize your envisioned results
Professional workflow demands efficiency and consistency under differing conditions, and must yield the finest quality while
providing the flexibility to edit freely as the assignment demands. Nikon’s latest software offerings combine all this and more to help
achieve maximum quality with minimal effort while working with high-resolution images from the D2
Xs
.
Workflow quality —
• Lens correction tools
3 original tools help expand imaging possibilities
for a wider variety of lenses by compensating for
lens effects. Vignette Control can reduce the effect
of marginal lumination. New Distortion Control can
reduce pincushion and barrel distortion effects. Color
Aberration Control uses digital processing to detect
color fringing caused by chromatic differences in lens
magnification, and automatically reduce it by aligning
colors at the edges of the image.
• RAW adjustments
Photographers can freely manipulate white
balance, color balance, tone curves and noise
reduction for NEF files after shooting. The results
can be saved and multiple renditions created, all
with the assurance that the original image data is
permanently retained.
• D-Lighting
D-Lighting allows photographers to manipulate
shadows and highlights while maintaining mid-tones
to produce optimized results from images with areas
of under- or overexposure. Choose from D-Lighting
HQ when quality is the priority, or D-Lighting HS for
high-speed results.
Additional tools that enhance Capture NX’s unique
capabilities include: Browser, Batch Processing,
Edit List, Red-Eye Reduction, Version, Advanced
Noise Reduction and other useful functions.
P
ictureProject —
Fast, easy and powerful
(Supplied)
The supplied PictureProject software provides fast
and easy access to powerful image management,
editing and sharing tools.
When the authenticity of an image needs to be
proven, Nikon’s exclusive Image Authentication
function may be used to indicate not only whether
the actual image has been tampered with, but also
if any changes have been made to date and GPS
information.
• Selective tools
Capture NX newly offers a range of selective tools
for applying over 25 enhancement styles, including
the Brush, Lasso, Marquee, Gradient and Fill/
Remove tools.
“There is just so much more that I can do with Nikon
software. It really unlocks the potential within each
image and allows me to make creative decisions quickly
and with ease. With the D2
Xs and Nikon software,
creativity just flows.”
