Color Efex Pro 2.0 for Capture NX
Most Nikon camera users process their images with Capture NX software that provides direct control over any region in a digital image and enables selective editing or enhancements without complicated layer masking techniques. Capture NX works with TIFF and JPG files and provides superior processing of Nikons RAW format, which is the main reason for the wide use of this software. Image edits are fully non-destructive and can be modified at any time and in any order, even after the file has been closed and reopened. File sizes do not substantially increase no matter how many edits are added to the original image.
In order to make processing easier and more pleasant, Nik Software, Inc. (established in 1995, it has become the recognized leader in digital photographic filter development and produces award-winning technology and software products for digital photography and imaging professionals) announced a new powerful photo editing software bundle designed specifically for professional and advanced amateur photographers: Color Efex Pro 2.0, an award-winning package.
“Professional photographers and advanced amateurs have recognized Nik Color Efex Pro as a big part of their photographic workflow because of its simplicity and power. Bringing Color Efex Pro 2.0 and Capture NX together offers photographers an easy to use and complete photo editing solution,” said Michael J. Slater, president and CEO of Nik Software, Inc. Nik Softwares Color Efex Pro 2.0 for Capture NX includes 75 award-winning filters that offer a tremendous range of traditional and stylistic photo enhancements.
