[. . . ] With a mere Ctrl-D click, you can duplicate your Color Control Point so you can rest assured that the effect to each eye will be the same. Selective Tools With Capture NX, you get additional tools for selective application of over 25 enhancements. For example, the Brush tool can paint in or paint out an enhancement, the Lasso and Marquee tools offer familiar selections, and the Gradient tool can gradually add or remove an effect. Browser The completely redesigned Capture NX Browser lets you sort, organize, compare, tag and improve images. [. . . ] Each Control Point appears on the image and can be easily dragged from point to point, for precise movement and positioning to achieve the desired effect. The Control Points' sliders let you adjust their effect for the respective Control Point areas. Neutral Control Points can be used to set a targeted color to see which area of the image is affected by the Color Control Point. This process reverses the image into a black and white view and clearly shows the image areas under adjustment. Red-Eye Reduction Thanks to U PointTM Technology, red-eye can be easily removed. Just place a Red-Eye Reduction Control Point on each of the offending eyes, and away it goes!With just a few slider adjust- Setting great value on photographers' spirits · Non-Destructive Image Editing Capture NX applies non-destructive image processing to NEF files, which means that you'll never compromise your original NEF images or image quality. All enhancements are saved in an Instruction Set along with the original data and Thumbnail. Ordinarily, changes made to a JPEG or TIFF file will affect its original image data; to avoid this, save as another file name, or use Nikon's original technology. So instead, your Original JPEG and TIFF images can be saved conveniently as "converted" NEF files. · NEF Quality To help you realize more of the potential of NEF, Capture NX utilizes camera settings within any camera-produced NEF file and ensures that parameters set within any Nikon camera-produced NEF file (White Balance, Sharpening, Color Mode, Saturation, etc. ) are applied to the image as originally selected. So your creative picture taking decisions are preserved, and there's less to do later, when you're working on your picture on a computer. Versions Versions is a very powerful tool for Nikon's NEF files, making it possible to create multiple versions of your original NEF image, all within the original image file. Imagine, 2, 6, 8, 10 or more versions within one file!There is no need to search your computer to find versions -- just open the original NEF and click on the Versions to review them. Nor is there any need for extensive hard disk space for many copies of versions. All such copies can be contained in one file for convenience, creativity and efficiency -- the original file's size changes by a tiny amount!Versions of JPEG and TIFF files can also be stored, as long as the image window remains open. Lens Correction Tools (some functions available for RAW files only) Expand your imaging possibilities with three original tools for correcting various lens effects: Vignette Control can automatically reduce the effect of marginal lumination; Color Aberration Control can reduce color fringing effects; and Distortion Control can reduce pincushion and barrel distortion effects.
