Nikon Capture 4 Editor

Image Adjustment

Nikon Capture 4 editor component contains a variety of tools for enhancing images, including the Curves, LCH Editor, Color Booster, Photo Effects, Unsharp Mask, Noise Reduction, D-Lighting, Red Eye Correction, and Fisheye Lens tools. With RAW (NEF) images, it can be used to adjust white balance and tone compensation, to reduce the effects of dust on the camera image sensor, including color moiré (Image Dust Off), and to correct for chromatic (color) aber- ration and the slight darkening at the margins of an image (vignetting) particular to the field of view of a given lens. When RAW images are saved in NEF format, image enhance- ment settings are saved separately from the original image data, allowing you to modify settings repeatedly without degrading the quality of the original image. Nikon Capture 4 Editor is also equipped with a batch option for automated processing of multiple images.
