Digital Home Thoughts: Nikon Announces Capture NX

"Nikon UK is pleased to announce the launch of Capture NX; a radically enhanced and redesigned version of Nikon’s digital image editing software. Capture NX marks a significant shift for image editing, irrespective of camera brand, whilst delivering powerful and dedicated tools for photographers shooting with the increasingly popular NEF (Raw) file format. Offering a compelling combination of creative potential, a simple user interface and an attractive price, Capture NX promises to revolutionize the way photographers’ work with digital images in the future."



I remember using the previous version of this software because I wanted to convert the RAW images from my friend's camera into jpg's and I was quite disappointed because it seemed to be so slow and a memory hog. I actually researched around to see if others were having this issues and it didn't look to be something that was common. Anyways, I just downloaded Microsoft's RAW convertor and was quite satisfied with the results. Anyways, the new version is an incremental upgrade to the previous version and is designed to offer a powerful and easy to use alternative to software like Photoshop. Let me know what you guys think of it. I am definitely looking to Jason for some feedback here after his post from earlier on being almost certain on picking up a Nikon.
