Nikon Capture NX2 user manual Auto Color Aberration, Auto Red-Eye, Vignette Control D-SLR only

For all other cameras, you will be presented with a folder search window to enable you to locate on your computer’s hard drive a folder that contains an Image Dust Off reference photo.

•If Capture NX 2 locates more than one Image Dust Off reference photo within the same folder, you will be presented with an options dialog to select which image to use. It is recommended that you select the image that was taken as close to the time of the current image as possible.

Once you have located the correct Image Dust Off reference photo, click OK to apply the Image Dust Off effect to your image.

If you would like to remove the Image Dust Off effect at any time, simply uncheck the “Apply” checkbox next to Image Dust Off.

A Please note: If a large amount of dust is detected in the current image, Capture NX 2 will display a warning stating that the results of Image Dust Off cannot be guaranteed. Click Yes to proceed.

Auto Color Aberration

Use the Auto Color Aberration tool to automatically reduce color aberrations (colored fringes or halos).

By default, this feature is automatically applied to RAW (NEF) images but not to TIFF and JPEG images. Use the “Apply” checkbox next to Auto Color Aberration in the Develop > Camera & Lens Corrections

section to toggle auto color aberration reduction on or off.

Auto Red-Eye

The Auto Red-Eyetool automatically locates and removes red-eye from the current image.

Auto red-eye is applied immediately when the “Auto Red-Eye” dialog is displayed. Click Reset or uncheck the “Apply” checkbox to prevent auto red-eye from changing your image.

Vignette Control D-SLR ONLY

The Vignette Control tool can be used on NEF, JPEG, and TIFF files and is used to correct for loss of marginal lumination, a phenomenon associated with camera lenses that causes a drop in brightness at the edges of a photograph. Vignette control is most effective when performed on images taken at maximum aperture.

If the picture in the active image window is a RAW image taken with a lens equipped to transmit distance information (a type G or D lens) mounted on a camera that

can record this information, Capture NX 2 will use the lens

information recorded with the image to automatically select an optimal range for the Intensity slider.
