February 19, 2007: Just a few weeks after we had Michael Rubin from Nikon or the show to tell us about their revolutionary Capture NX software, the company has updated its software.

Capture NX is very cool. It takes a new approach to approaching your image, with new tools and metaphors for improving your pictures. If you’re used to Photoshop or any other image editor, it takes some getting used to. That’s not a bad thing, but it is a thing.

Nikon Releases Major Upgrade to Capture NX Software
MELVILLE, NY (February 16, 2007) – Nikon (www.nikondigital.com) yesterday released an upgrade to its highly acclaimed Capture NX software. Capture NX version 1.1 boasts several new improvements including increased performance, full support for Intel-based Mac OS X computers, and optimization for Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system.

In addition to these advancements Nikon has made several usability updates based on software testing and customer feedback. Capture NX 1.1 now sports a simpler user interface that has added improvements such as resizable palettes for histograms and curves and levels adjustments.

Capture NX 1.1 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. Capture NX 1.1 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.
