The NEF difference

Nikon Electronic Format (NEF) is a unique file format consisting of an image’s RAW data, along with an instruction set that provides unparalleled image editing capability. With NEF, all corrections and adjustments made are saved in the file’s instruction set. The original file’s RAW data is never altered, regardless how many times the instruction set is changed. Instruction sets can also be saved separately for all adjustments or only selected parameters, and then later applied to individual files or to a large number using automated batch processing. It’s the best of versatile image editing combined with precious savings in hard disk space.

Nikon Capture 4 processes and displays NEF files using a full 16 bits per color channel for smoother fidelity when making tonal and other color corrections. Changes can be saved to the NEF file, as a new Instruction Set, or as a TIFF or JPEG file.

Version 4.2 continues to refine the power, speed and flexibility of Nikon Capture 4. Building on familiar features such as Fisheye-to-rectilinear image transformation, Image Dust Off and batch processing, a number of new functions expand the creative possibilities and improve workflow efficiency.

•D-Lighting:

adjusts shadows and highlights while maintaining mid-tones for optimized results that compensate for underexposure and overexposure.

•Straighten:

rotates a picture to level it on the horizontal or vertical axis using either a simple defining mouse action, or by directly entering the amount of rotation to be applied. (±10°)

•Improved color noise reduction better filters out color noise for smoother transitions while preventing resolution loss at higher settings.

•Improved Multi Image window:

opens more quickly, and the new scrollable thumbnail image display is also faster. The interface adds new features, including simultaneous editing of multiple files, the ability to undo or redo commands, and file deletion.

•Photo Effects tool:

applies monochrome, sepia or tint effects, and provides both manual and auto brightness control.

•Plug-in filter support:

allows feature set expansion for even greater capability to enhance and transform images. The three editions of nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 for Nikon Capture 4 as well as nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 Express Edition offer selections of a wide range of filters and effects packaged to match differing needs.

•Histogram tool:

displays a histogram that more closely represents the final image, and that can be used to confirm specific ranges of pixels in the image window.

•Marker:

saves the parameters for each image at each step during processing, making it easy to apply distinct finishing touches when preparing the same image for different applications.

Remote Camera Control

Nikon Capture Control can control most shooting settings and trigger the D70s’s shutter release remotely from a computer when the camera is connected via the USB interface to a computer with Nikon Capture 4 installed.
