Capture NX 2 is a full-featured non-destructive photo editing program that provides photographers powerful tools to quickly and easily edit their photographs.
Color Control Points:
Enhancements for hue, brightness and saturation are as simple as placing a Color Control Point on your image, then adjusting the length of the sliders. For example, Color Control Points are remarkably convenient for changing the color of flowers for better effect against green surrounding foliage. Take a dull gray sky and add blue to change the mood of a captured scene.
NEW! Selection Control Points:
Now you can selectively edit photographs without the need to manually outline or mask the area for editing. Simply place a Selection Control Point anywhere on the photograph then choose from almost any adjustment such as D-Lighting, Unsharp Mask or Noise Reduction, while limiting the reach of that adjustment to just the selected area.
NEW! Auto-Retouch Brush:
Capture NX 2 adds an automatic retouch tool to its image editing toolbox allowing users to seamlessly remove blemishes, dust and other distracting elements from photographs while maintaining the integrity of the image.
NEW! Shadow/Highlight Adjustment:
With just a simple slider adjustment you can easily open up shadows or recover blown-out highlights. Highlight recovery is most effective for RAW (NEF) files however it will work with JPEG and TIFF files as well.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Capture NX 2 Photo Editing Software:
As I moved from jpeg to raw photos, I needed software that allows me to work with the new files. Capture NX is a little different than more popular editing applications such as Elements, but I am learning the differences! I am now able to work with both photo file types and it gets easier and faster every time I use it.

This software is very powerful and easy to use with any picture file!! I think it is better than photoshop and less complicated to use. You don't need a course on how to use it works right out of the box!! I would recomend this to anyone looking for photo fixes. Greg
