dSLR Dad

Nikon has updated has released a software update for Capture NX, version 2.2.0. This software update is available in both Windows and Macintosh versions. For those Nikonian dSLR Dads who have not tried Capture NX, a 60-day trial is also available. The following are listed as new for this update:

• Support for NRW-format RAW images captured with the COOLPIX P6000 has been added.
• Capture NX 2 Picture Controls are compatible with digital-SLR Picture Controls. As Picture Controls built into the COOLPIX P6000 are COOLPIX Picture Controls, modifying Picture Control settings with Capture NX 2 will not produce the same colors as in-camera Picture Controls.  
• Some changes have been made to the file-type filter on the toolbar.  
• An Axial Color Aberration correction function has been added to the Camera & Lens Corrections portion of the Edit List’s Develop section.  With the addition of the Axial Color Aberration correction function, other function labels have been modified as follows:
  • Auto Color Aberration in the Camera & Lens Corrections portion of the Edit List’s Develop section has been changed to Auto Lateral Color Aberration. 
  • The Color Aberration Control… option, selected from the Adjust menu> Correct, has been renamed Lateral Color Aberration.  
• An Auto Distortion correction function has been added to the Camera & Lens Corrections portion of the Edit List’s Develop section.  
• Batch processing speed has been increased.  
• When a batch process was applied to images stored on an external hard disk, processing order was performed in the order the images were created.  Processing order has been modified so that images are now processed in alphabetical order by file name.  
• When the Adjust menu> Light> Auto Levels… option was applied to images captured with the D3X, in some rare cases, the enhanced images had a blue cast.  This issue has been resolved.  
• When RAW images captured with the D60 with Active D-Lighting enabled were opened, in some rare cases, the images did not display properly.  This issue has been resolved.

You can download the Capture NX software update from Nikon USA.
