Nikon Capture NX Software for Windows and Mac Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Powerful software
Comment: With this software you will be able to edit in professional level pictures you have taken and they will look with a real professional look. very intuitive and easy to learn, Capture NX is a not expensive solution for you editing purposes. However, the real potential is when using Nikon's RAW format, beause if using a simple JPG picture, not all the possibilities are available. But still, you can imprve a lot those pics. One of the problems I have found is when trying to edit pictures taken with a HP still camera. Due to the compression format they use, Capture NX will not open them. But using other brands like Kodak, Fuji, Sony, Canon or Casio, editing will be just a few clicks. As it uses a non-destructive edit system, you can undo many changes without risking the original file. I think it s a good alternative if your budget does not allow you to buy a copy of Photoshop. Capture NX offers a very precise and accurate edit just in one part of the picture if you need it, or work with the whole image. It requires some time to really know how to operate this program, but you can be sure it would be less than other edithing software.

Summary: For a D80 its the more efficient way of removing chromatic aberation.
Comment: I had to buy and use it for that purpose only. Then I switch to photshop to get the real work done.
The user interface is clunky, though it has some good ideas, I just wish I hadn't had to buy it for just the one reason. Its quite slow as well. You have to shoot in RAW to fix the CR automatically, which this program then does with one click.

Summary: Excellent - very good system for price
Comment: This is a top-drawer software program, and certainly my choice for managing RAW files. It's easy to learn and instabtly has helped to "tune" some recent photos. Two thumbs up!

Summary: Very Useful
Comment: I would definitely recommend Capture NX and now Capture NX 2 which you can get a 30 day free trial from Nikon directly then purchase it here if you like it and judging by all the responses and my humble opinion I think you will. It is not going to do all the things that Photoshop can do but it performs awesome in the most common photo editing tasks, and the software is so intuitive it is actually fun to play with. It does eat up alot of computer resources so keep in mind if using a taxed or antiquated machine.

Summary: Nikon Capture NX
Comment: i'm disappointed that i just ordered and installed this software only to find out that capture nx2 will be released at the end of june. it is more compliant with intel based macs. of course wait to purchase if you're using a newer mac. i imagine i didn't do good research at the time, but am also wondering why amazon didn't have the information - other sites did.
