Nikon
Releases Trial Version of Capture NX Software
Nikon Press Release Summary:
MELVILLE, N.Y., July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Nikon (http://www.nikondigital.com)
today released a trial version of Capture NX™ -- a new software
that is designed specifically for photographers, providing a
unique and easy to understand interface with tools that
photographers need, but without the level of 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 new 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. Capture NX also works
with Nikon’s RAW (NEF) format images, and inherits Nikon’s
robust RAW processing capabilities for the highest quality
results from NEF files.
Capture NX is designed to appeal to a broad range of consumers.
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.
Professional and advanced photographers will appreciate the time
they can save using U Point technology to make edits to their
images, as well as fully utilize over 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 detailed online demonstration of how Capture NX works is
available at
http://www.capturenx.com or
http://www.nikondigital.com.
The 30 day trial version of Capture NX software is available for
download at http://www.nikonusa.com, in the Software Download
section. The software is expected to be available for purchase
in July at an estimated selling price of $149.95**. A special
limited-time upgrade price of $89.95 will be offered to current
owners of Nikon Capture 4 software in the U.S. market. This
upgrade will only be available on http://www.nikonmall.com for
registered Nikon Capture 4 owners and will be limited to one
upgrade per legitimate Nikon Capture 4 product key. The upgrade
will require certain customer verification of ownership.
Customers who have not already registered their version of
Capture 4 will receive instructions to do so at the site.
