Real World Nikon Capture NX - Capture NX from Nikon is a powerful image-editing application that lets photographers make complex edits of their digital images with more speed and efficiency than other software programs.
Its underlying technology gives photographers the ability to make selective corrections to an image with just one click. "Real World Capture NX," written by digital photography expert Ben Long, takes photographers behind the scenes to see how this innovative program works. Along the way, Ben offers valuable tips and techniques for getting the most out of the software and digital cameras.
Novice and expert photographers alike will benefit from Capture NX. New users can make advanced image corrections without learning sophisticated masking techniques. Advanced users will find they need fewer steps to perform the complex edits they are accustomed to making in other programs.
Any image corrections made with Capture NX are non-destructive, which means that the all edits are changeable and reversible until the photographer. Photographers who use Nikon cameras have access to special software features for working with raw, JPEG and TIFF images.
While Capture NX was developed with Nikon cameras in mind, the software works with digital cameras from all manufacturers, thus broadening its appeal. Every digital photographer can use Capture NX - and will benefit from "Real World Capture NX."
