PRESS RELEASE: Nikon Introduces All-new Capture NX Software
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Powerful and Intuitive New Software Simplifies Workflow While Reducing the Time and Effort Required to Edit and Process Images
MELVILLE, NY (February 21, 2006) – Nikon (www.nikondigital.com) today introduced Capture NX, an all-new image processing and editing software that gives digital photographers powerful tools complimented by simple and visual operation that streamlines their workflow. Capture NX, the next generation of Nikon’s popular Capture software, inherits the robust RAW (NEF) processing capabilities from Nikon Capture 4.4, and combines these with brand new features such as Nik Software, Inc.’s revolutionary, patented U Point™ technology, seamless image-browsing and advanced batch-processing capabilities, superior color management control and comprehensive system compatibility with Nikon’s Digital Imaging System. Capture NX’s intuitive interface design offers photographers a rewarding experience and delivers powerful performance while maintaining an ease-of-use that is welcomed by enthusiasts of all skill levels.
In addition to providing cutting-edge features and capabilities for Nikon’s Electronic Format (NEF) files, Capture NX also makes editing and processing of JPEG and TIFF files created by virtually any digital camera simple and easy*. With its wide-ranging features, user-friendly interface and powerful performance, Capture NX makes image editing visually intuitive, allowing you to immediately see the effects as they are applied as well as providing access to a wide range of enhancement tools.
“With the introduction of Capture NX, Nikon offers photographers an exciting new way to edit and process images that is both powerful and visually intuitive while speeding up their workflow,” said Michael Rubin, senior manager for Software Products at Nikon Inc. “Capture NX continues the NEF file link between our digital SLR models while adding revolutionary U Point editing technology that benefits all digital camera owners. We’re confident photographers will find great use for this amazing new technology,” he added.
Exclusive New U Point Technology
Nikon Capture NX’s exclusive U Point technology is revolutionary in its approach to enable edits to portions of an image, or an entire image, without requiring the photographer to manually outline or mask the editable area. U Point technology achieves this by using ‘Control Points’ – simple, interactive points that can be placed anywhere in an image and can be instructed to affect very specific characteristics of the image. For example, if a photographer wanted to enhance the tone of a certain color that appears in an image, without adversely affecting the neighboring portions of the image, he or she can do so by simply placing a control point on the color and defining the enhancement, which can be reflected locally or globally. Enhancements can be instantly adjusted, canceled or added with ease, without compromising the original quality of the image. Control Points powered by U Point technology are perfectly compatible with the NEF file’s Instruction Set structure. Control Points include Color Control Points, Black, White, and Neutral Control Points and Red-Eye Reduction Control Points.
Capture NX software is further complemented by a suite of features and tools that include the following:
Sophisticated Edit List: A master control list of Capture NX features and enhancements. Anything that affects an image will have an Edit List entry. Entries can be removed, altered, or duplicated from this list without any destructive effects on the integrity of an image.
Expanded Power of the NEF file format: Capture NX further extends the NEF file format by incorporating U Point technology, giving users the ability to save and undo the effects of Control Points on an NEF image at any time. JPEG and TIFF images saved in

Expanded Power of the NEF file format: Capture NX further extends the NEF file format by incorporating U Point technology, giving users the ability to save and undo the effects of Control Points on an NEF image at any time. JPEG and TIFF images saved in the NEF file format can also take advantage of this feature. Powerful Image Browser: Capture NX’s Browser is capable of labeling, sorting and editing, all while browsing images. Users can apply most of Capture NX’s features and editing capabilities directly onto images via thumbnails within the Browser, saving a great deal of time while allowing users to bypass opening each file in the Capture NX’s editor. Improved batch processing: Capture NX supports various batch processing methods, and is especially useful in applying a predefined series of adjustments to several images at once. Selective tools: Capture NX includes selective tools for enhancements including Selective Application Brush, Lasso and Marquee, Gradient and Fill/Remove. Color Management control: Capture NX features a reinforced color management system with on-screen Soft Proofing for advanced control of how colors from an image correspond to colors that a printer can produce. Options for this feature include Perceptual, Saturation, Relative Colorimetric and Absolute Colorimetric. Exclusive Nikon Capture Features: Capture NX inherits powerful functions from Capture 4.4 software, including Color Aberration Control, D-Lighting, Image Dust-Off, Vignette Control and Fisheye-to-Rectilinear Image Transformation. A new Distortion Control has been added to help control pincushion and barrel distortion effects. Nikon’s new Capture NX software represents the nexus of Nikon’s integrated digital imaging components, such as cameras, lenses, software, Speedlights, and accessories, and allows photographers to yield the highest performance from their equipment. Capture NX new software is scheduled for delivery during Spring 2006. Pricing, availability and upgrade information will be released prior to delivery. Nikon will preview the new Capture NX software from February 26-March 1, 2006 at the PMA trade show in Orlando, Florida, Booth #2603 and at additional shows throughout the year.

Non-Destructive Image EditingCapture NX applies non-destructive image processing to NEF files, which means that you'll never compromise your original image. Every enhancement made is saved in an edit list with the original data and thumbnail. When changes are made to a JPEG or TIFF, however, it will affect the quality of the original image. To avoid compromising the quality of your images, Capture NX allows you to save the image under a different file name, or simply covert the file into Nikon's NEF format. No modifications made to NEF filesNo modifications made to NEF files when transferred to Capture NX Parameters set on any Nikon camera-produced NEF file (White Balance, Sharpening, Color Mode, Saturation, etc.) are applied to the image you transfer to Capture NX for editing. So your creative photographic decisions are preserved, and there's less to do later when you're finishing the photo on your computer. http://nikonimaging.com/global/products/software/capturenx/nxsp/nef_files.htm |

感覺Nikon的軟體好像越來越強,希望以後能跟Photoshop一樣...
數位啊..後製真的很重要...嗯... |

簡單看了一下，應該是NC 4.4的後繼版本，改名為NC NX。
除了對RAW的編輯更有彈性之外，也可以編輯JPG檔，
並且有圈選工具、裁切、圖層等..更多的功能。
看起來應該是可以利用NC做簡單的修圖了，預計2006年春季會發表。

從網頁上的介紹來看，最大的特色就是所謂的U-point技術，可以自由選擇範圍、亮度、對比、飽和、RGB各色調整，
只需利用滑鼠點選即可完成。
另外還有內鍵25種創造照片風格的工具，還有步驟紀錄。以及功能強大的批次化處理能力。
而針對RAW檔則可以直接編輯修圖，不需經過轉檔成TIFF或是JPG，大幅維持了影像的素質。
以往RAW的編輯只能對色溫、亮度、對比、飽和做調整，要做其他的修圖必須要轉成JPG或是TIFF這類的通用格式。
另外。在使用語言的部分也將提供多國語言，包括繁體中文。

在我瞭解的範圍內（雖然很有限），任何RAW檔轉換軟體（包括目前的NC）不都是non-destructive嗎？
所以，不太懂這點評論的意義。

用TIFF檔或jpeg檔來 EDIT(修圖)都是destructive,所以NIKON發表這種可以用RAW檔來EDIT的新SOFTWARE. |

針對您質疑的點，我覺得可能只是全面性特色介紹之一環，會涵蓋一部分NC軟體已存在的特色，即【任何RAW檔轉換軟體（包括目前的NC）都是non-destructive】→其他非NC轉檔軟體確實只能在raw中改色溫、亮度、對比、飽和等，但以往的NC即可做其他調整；這次的NX最特殊之處在U Point吧，倘若有效，將是如小弟等不擅製作mask者的一大福音！

===========================================
這句評論內的「……都是……」，應該改成「都可以是」。
不論TIFF或JPEG檔，只要你願意，在PS內處理，都可以是non-destrctive。
不是我「龜毛」，純粹是有點「無聊」。 |

Jenhoxen兄：
……將是如小弟等不擅製作mask者的一大福音！
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
你客氣了！ 「不擅製作」應該是懶得製作吧！
雖然聽過一些理論，
主張編輯應該儘可能在RAW檔轉換軟體內進行（優點？譬如：線性Gamma），
但也聽過另一些說法，
認為很多編輯最好留待PS內處理，
因為PS才是專門的編輯軟體，
編輯功能應該超過RAW檔轉換軟體。
這兩種說法可能都對吧？
但我也不特別在意，
因為我的功力還看不出兩種處理方法有什麼差別。
關於Nikon所謂的U Point Technology，
我當然不懂，但我猜其整體功能不太可能與PS比較。
所以，我暫時把此定位為「噱頭」，
但願我的判斷錯誤，但這種可能性不高。
總之，這種新軟體應該還是「RAW檔轉換軟體」，
可是，對於那些不想或懶得進入PS的人，
這套軟體或許有特別吸引力。
至於影像編輯，恐怕還是PS為尊。

Capture NX Capture NX™ is a revolutionary image editing application designed specifically for digital photographers irrespective of their chosen file format. Designed by photographers for photographers, Capture NX makes refined image enhancement simplicity itself for anyone irrespective of their skill level. Powerful, and yet simple to use, this software permits changes to be made to specific areas of an image by a simple point and click and removes the need for complex masking or layering techniques. Create or modify image enhancements repeatedly without degrading the quality of the image data. Additional dedicated tools are available for those using the NEF (Raw) file format such as correcting lens distortions and vignette. Image adjustments are both independent and fully variable: this eliminates the need for multiple ‘undo’ steps and allows you to exercise complete control over all aspects of the image. The original image data within the file is always preserved allowing an infinite number of variations to be created and stored without the need to make duplicates of the original source data – a feature that saves enormous amounts of disk space. Capture NX. Photo Editing for Photographers. key features enlarge 1. Intuitive image adjustment: Capture NX enables each step of the editing process to be undone at any time, enabling complete freedom to revisit earlier changes without undoing those in between. 2. Control Points: these are selected stored points of adjustment that affect areas of similar tone or color. Adjustments can be made to colors from the spectrum, or to natural colors such as skin, foliage and sky. 3. Handles: the revolutionary user interface features sliders – called ‘handles’ - that control the strength of various parameters whilst editing. Handles are situated at the point of control, allowing adjustments to be applied directly to an image whilst keeping attention focused on the affected area. 4. Pop-out tools: curves and levels adjustment windows pop out when needed and pop back when not in use. 5. Nikon Capture NX can accept Nikon’s range of nik Multimedia filter plug-ins and is compatible with NEF format images that are created by all Nikon cameras. 6.
