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.
Though Capture NX includes many features targeted to the typical consumer, professional photographers will benefit from the time saving using the new U Point technology to make edits to their images, as well as fully utilize the more than 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 30-day trial version of Capture NX is available for download at the Nikon USA web site. The full-version is available for purchase at select Nikon authorized dealers for US$149.95, as well as at the Nikon online store. A special limited-time upgrade price of US$89.95 will be offered to current owners of Nikon Capture 4 software in the U.S. market. This upgrade will only be available online.
