Key Features
-
Color Control Points: Enhancements
for hue, brightness and saturation are as simple as placing a Color
Control Point on your image, then adjusting the length of the sliders.
For example, Color Control Points are remarkably convenient for
changing the color of flowers for better effect against green
surrounding foliage. Take a dull gray sky and add blue to change the
mood of a captured scene. -
Selection Control Points:
Now you can selectively edit photographs without the need to manually
outline or mask the area for editing. Simply place a Selection Control
Point anywhere on the photograph then choose from almost any adjustment
such as D-Lighting, Unsharp Mask or Noise Reduction, while limiting the
“reach” of that adjustment to just the selected area. -
Auto-Retouch Brush: Capture
NX 2 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. -
Shadow/Highlight Adjustment: With
just a simple slider 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. -

-
