Nikon Ships New Capture NX Software

Nikon Inc., has begun shipping the new Capture NX software to Nikon authorized retailers across the nation. Capture NX is designed specifically for photographers, providing an easy-to-understand interface with necessary tools, but without complexity and clutter. Users with compact digital cameras such as Nikon’s Coolpix series will enjoy the simplicity of using U Point technology to quickly enhance their JPEG pictures, eliminate any red-eye using the automatic red-eye-correction tool and even resurrect underexposed images with the software’s D-Lighting feature. Though Capture NX includes many features targeted to the typical consumer, professional photographers will benefit from the time saving using the new U Point technology to make edits to their images, as well as fully utilize the more than 25 new tools in the software, including powerful batch-processing capabilities, advanced color-management features, distortion-correction enhancement and the ability to make every edit non-destructively when a JPEG, TIFF, or NEF image is saved in NEF format.A 30-day trial version of Capture NX is available for download at the Nikon USA web site. The full-version is available for purchase at select Nikon authorized dealers for US$149.95, as well as at the Nikon online store. A special limited-time upgrade price of US$89.95 will be offered to current owners of Nikon Capture 4 software in the U.S. market. This upgrade will only be available online.
