Nikon Capture NX2 user manual Color Mode, Exposure Compensation

Color Mode

❏Color Mode

If Use this instead of embedded profile is selected in the “Color Management” tab of the

“Preferences” dialog, the default RGB color profile selected in the “Preferences” dialog will be used as the working color space for all images, regardless of the mode selected. If Use this instead of embedded profile is not selected, Adobe RGB will automatically be chosen as the working color space for Mode II

images. The working color space for Mode I, Ia, III, and IIIa images will either be the color space selected with the camera (D2X and D2XS only) or sRGB (all other cameras). The working color space for NTSC images (D1 only) will be NTSC. Modes I and Ia, which are adapted to the sRGB color space, are suited to portraits that will be printed or used “as is” with little or no modification. Mode II is adapted to the Adobe RGB color space. This color space is capable of expressing a wider gamut of colors than sRGB, making it the preferred choice for pictures that will be extensively processed or retouched. Modes III and IIIa, which are adapted to the sRGB color space, are suited to nature or landscape shots that will be printed or used “as is” with little or no modification.

Exposure Compensation

Highlights in images saved in Nikon Capture 4.4 or earlier with a negative value selected for exposure compensation may display differently when opened in Capture NX 2.
