As an upgraded version of the proven Capture NX that was marketed in 2006, the Capture NX 2 is a "really powerful and easy-to-use software" for photographers who want to realize quick and comfortable image enhancements with intuitive operation.

In addition to Color Control Point that has been highly evaluated, Selection Control Point is newly added, that enables users to apply enhancements such as Unsharp Mask and D-Lighting to a specific area, which are immediately viewable on your monitor. Using the Auto Retouch Brush, simply apply mouse strokes to clear away specks (caused by dust when an image is shot) that appear on the image. To fill the traced area, the most appropriate portion is detected and applied, to deliver the most natural image after use. Also, Workspaces based on assumed workflow and improved Edit List further enhance efficient operation and expanded expression.

The Capture NX 2 is a software optimized for workflow of photographers who want to do high-quality image editing in a simple way.
