It offers advanced color control points, an automatic retouch tool for blemish removal, and a redesigned interface that enhances user experience. Compatible with both Windows and Mac systems, this software is perfect for photographers looking to streamline their editing process. ## Description Product description RE) NIKON CAPTURE NX2 FULL VERSION .com Nikon's Capture NX 2 software is a full-featured, nondestructive photo-editing program that gives photographers all the tools they need to quickly and easily edit their photographs. Also available in a reduced-price upgrade version (requires a valid serial number from v1.x), the software offers such editing features as color control points, selection control points, an auto-retouch brush, and shadow/highlight adjustment. Enhancing the hue, brightness, and saturation of an image is as simple as placing a color control point on your image, then adjusting the length of the sliders. For example, color control points are a remarkably convenient way to change the color of flowers to look better against green surrounding foliage. As an alternative, editors can take a dull gray sky and add blue to change the mood of a captured scene. The selection control points, meanwhile, let you selectively edit photographs without manually outlining or masking the area for editing. Simply place a selection control point anywhere on the photograph, and then choose from almost any adjustment, including D-Lighting, Unsharp Mask, or Noise Reduction, while limiting the 'reach" of that adjustment to just the selected area. Capture NX 2 also adds an automatic retouch tool to its image editing toolbox, allowing users to seamlessly remove blemishes, dust, and other distracting elements from photographs while maintaining the integrity of the image. And thanks to the shadow/highlight adjustment, you can easily open up shadows or recover blown-out highlights. Highlight recovery is most effective for RAW (NEF) files; however, it will work with JPEG and TIFF files as well. The software's redesigned v2 interface includes such features as customized workspaces, an improved toolbar function and layout, improved edit list functionality, a redesigned image browser with a favorites folder, and improved image resolution adjustments. The software's holdover features from v1.x range include black/white/neutral control points, color management control, color aberration control, distortion control, a color booster, contrast/brightness adjustment, a saturation/warmth adjustment, black-and-white conversion, straighten and crop tools, and much more. Finally, Capture NX 2 features award-winning U Point technology for precision selection and application of enhancements without complicated selections or layer masks. Designed to closely match the way photographers work with their images, Capture NX2 is easy to learn and creates the highest-quality results. Note that the software fully integrated with all Nikon software, including Camera Control Pro 2, Image Authentication Software, Transfer, and ViewNX.

This will do things that Camera RAW will not. Camera Raw will do things that NX 2 will not. You cannot jump between the two programs to use both tools on a single RAW file. However, it's worth the time for difficult shots to process the RAW and then convert the better result to TIFF. I have been working on scanned slides in TIFF format opening them in Capture NX 2 and only using Auto Exposure followed by D-Lighting in precision mode and then saving as a TIFF. I open the TIFF in Adobe Camera RAW, make some tweaks and then finish up in Photoshop.I am very impressed with Nik Software plug-ins for Photoshop, and NX 2 has some of the genius under the hood. I was thinking that it would be nice to have some of the features of NX 2 within Photoshop, so I bought Viveza 2 and it is wonderful. I also am very impressed with Nik's Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete. The U-Point technology works well in these two plug-ins and in Capture NX 2. It gives you a different approach to applying effects to a particular area.I'm writing this review because the other reviews refer to mostly Photoshop Elements and not Adobe Camera RAW. Hope this helps.Update: Capture NX 2 allows me to correct the exposure/color balance automatically and bring details out of the shadows of scanned slides. It is very fast, easy, and effective. So, no, it's not just for Nikon cameras, and it's not just for RAW format. I think it does a better job than Adobe Camera Raw.Another Update: After using this for a few months, I've got into a workflow and suggest setting "Keep All Steps Active in Edit List" (if you have a fast computer). Then you can grab adjustment tools and go back and forth amongst settings to quickly perfect the image. My favorite tool is D-Lighting.Yet another update: It is amazing what can be coaxed out of an existing photo, even if its not in RAW format. You have a rich palette of tools to use. Amazing!--- Update 12/1/10 ---I am now moving to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3. This software does not play nice with the Adobe way of doing things.The problem is that Lightroom and Bridge do not read the adjustment data from Capture NX2, nor does Capture NX2 read from the "sidecar" files or Lightroom database.Lightroom has a great deal of capabilities not present in NX2 and cooperates not just with Photoshop but with plugins that formerly were used in Photoshop. I can send a RAW file to DxO for conversion to TIFF. I believe it does a more complete job than NX2.If I encounter a difficult photo, I might use this again, to convert RAW to TIFF, or to work on a TIFF created by Lightroom. But it is going from being a starter to sitting on the bench.--- Update 3/1/2011 ---I added Capture NX2 as an External Editor. Now I can do my original tweaks in Lightroom then edit in NX2 using the Lightroom (Edit using Lightroom Adjustments). This will create a TIFF file and open it in NX2. I had good luck in doing this:1. Do some fiddling with the histogram in Quick Fix (don't spend much time here)2. New Step: Light > Auto Levels (this often removes any color cast)3. New Step: Light > Auto Levels (see if this makes a further improvement, if not delete)4. New Step: Light > D-Lighting, Better Quality (leave sliders alone for now)5. New Step: Light > Contrast/BrightnessYou can usually make adjustments of Brightness and Shadow Adjustment (step 4) and quickly find a good setting. Close the file and it will load back into Lightroom 3.I usually go to Photoshop from here using Edit Original.You might be able to make similar adjustments in Lightroom without NX2, but for me, it is faster to go to NX2. NX2 is terrific for bringing detail from shadows and for fixing blown-out skies.--- Update 4/27/2014 ---I now begin my post processing in Lightroom 5. I usually click Auto Tone, set Hightlights to -100, and Shadows to +100, then adjust exposure to center the histogram. I apply some noise reduction and lens correction, then I open the result with Lightroom adjustments in Capture NX2. By using just Auto Levels in Advanced mode, I can adjust the Correct Contrast each side of 50 looking for any improvement in highlights or shadow detail. Then I adjust the Correct Color Cast to tradeoff between any nice glow and color fidelity checking each side of 50. That one adjustment can make all the difference because it's adaptive. It looks at the photo. When I save the file from Capture NX2, I open the resulting "original" in Photoshop and complete my post processing there. I don't use Capture NX2 for much, but what it does is dramatic and realistic. This post processing works so well that I no longer use DxO Optics Pro 8, which does a lot of adaptive corrections. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Software - with a fatal flaw - it won't read RAW *by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2011* Nikon Capture NX2 Photo Editing Software (CD-ROM) + Nikon Pro Cleaning Kit & Spudz + Blower for D3s, D3x, D3, D700, D300s, D300, D60, D40, D3000, D3100, D5000, D7000 & D90 Digital SLR Cameras This is a high quality software for realizing the full potential of images saved in RAW (NEF) format.>>However, this particular edition has one show-stopping flaw, it absolutely -WON'T- even open RAW (NEF) files created by a Nikon D7000. Yes, you read that right...* As background, I recently purchased a Nikon D7000, and one of the truly compelling features was its ability to record each image separately to both a JPEG and RAW (NEF) file. I had purchased CaptureNX2 on the direct recommendation of instructors at a recent Nikon digital photography course as being an ideal software to process my RAW (NEF) files.As always, Amazon shipping was extremely fast and well-package, and I happily installed my new CaptureNX2 software on my computer, only to find that while it would easily open and read routine JPEGS from any source, this right-out-of-the-box copy of CaptureNX2 absolutely would not open any NEF (RAW) files created by my Nikon D7000.Nothing I tried, such as additional file downloads from my memory cards, reinstall of the software, etc., would allow me to open my RAW files.* To resolve the problem, I also tried to use the "Update NX2..." option under the "Help" tab in the Capture NX2 software, thinking that perhaps there might be an update that fixes the problem. However, the "Help" tab repeatedly responded that there were "no updates available."* Truly exasperated, I eventually logged onto NikonUSA and described my problem through their Request for Technical Assistance feature. They quickly responded that I would have to download the new CaptureNX2 "2.2.6" release which has "now" has been updated to accept RAW (NEF) files created by a D7000.* Now just how in the world would a new user know to do that if they did not think (on their own) to bypass the software and go directly to Nikon and ask?* Lesson learned -- Go to the NikonUSA site and don't simply trust the software "Help" tab for accurate version update availability. Seriously? Nikon should be better than that...I would easily give CaptureNX2 a five-star rating if it actually -worked- for my RAW files right out of the box. It puzzles me that these true wizards would give so much creative thought to a truly outstanding software, then not even bother to be sure it actually works for new users with newer camera systems. Falsely reporting through the "Help" tab that there are no updates available would cause some users to simply throw up their hands in total disgust and simply return the software as being totally worthless for their intended purpose. This is a major quality control flaw that should be addressed.Now, after downloading the "secret" update, the software now works magnificently, and I am having a blast quickly working my way through the learning curve. But... I should not have had to go through all this to get it to open a simple RAW file in the first place.CHT - Disgusted in Virginia ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ the version is only good for my microsoft computer as most of my work ... *by L***E on Reviewed in Canada on November 3, 2014* I purchased a full version from Amazon however, the version is only good for my microsoft computer as most of my work is associated with my Mac I am somewhat disapointed that I would need to purchase two version.Louis LaPierre --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1394643-nikon-capture-nx-2-full-version](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1394643-nikon-capture-nx-2-full-version) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
