Nikon Capture NX 1.2
is designed specifically for photographers, providing a unique and user-friendly
interface featuring tools that serve photographers needs, without the
complexity and clutter of other image editing applications.
The software can be used with JPEG and TIFF format images from any source,
and its patented U Point™ technology offers photographers a dramatically
simplified way to edit their pictures by enabling them to enhance specific
areas of a picture selectively, without the use of masks, selections,
or layers.
Nikon
Capture NX 1.2 also works with Nikon’s RAW (NEF) format images from cameras
like the Nikon D80 and D200, and inherits Nikon’s robust RAW processing
capabilities for the highest quality results from NEF files.
Current
users of Nikon Capture NX can download an update to version 1.2 at no
additional cost. There is a 30 day free trial download available as well.
