14 DAY TRIAL // Nikon has just updated its RAW image editing application, Capture NX, to version 2.4.5. Capture NX allows you to edit your Nikon RAW images captured with any Nikon digital SLR camera as well as compact cameras that support this format.
The new version of Capture NX comes with added support for the upcoming Nikon Df retro-styled digital SLR as well as D5300 RAW file support.
Moreover, this new version updates the Better Quality 2012 option found under Noise Reduction in the Camera Settings panel to Better Quality 2013.
In addition to that, starting with this version you will be able to adjust Intensity and Sharpness separately for both Luminance and Color. This update makes the effects of Noise Reduction adjustment change for all images edited with Capture NX 2.4.4 or earlier and opened in Capture NX 2.4.5.
With the help of Capture NX, you can edit all your Nikon RAW images using small control points that speeds up the entire editing process and gives you full control over your images. Capture NX is available in the Nikon store at a price of $179.95 / €134.
If you want to know exactly what changes have been made in the new Capture NX version, you can check out the full changelog below.
- Support for RAW images captured with the D5300 and the Df has been added. - The Better Quality 2012 option under Noise Reduction in the Camera Settings portion of the Develop section in the Edit List palette has been changed to Better Quality 2013.
