Book description
Capture NX 2 from Nikon is a powerful image-editing application
that lets photographers work with digital photographs 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
2," 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
2. New users can make advanced image corrections without learning
sophisticated masking techniques. Advanced users can perform the
complex edits they are accustomed to making in other programs in
fewer steps. Any image corrections made with Capture NX 2 are
non-destructive, which means that the actual image data is
unaltered and reversible until the photographer achieves the best
results. Photographers who use Nikon cameras have access to special
software features for working with raw, JPEG and TIFF images.
