Additionally, NX-D incorporates advanced filtering and sorting options, making it easy for users to organize their libraries based on various parameters such as camera model, date, or star ratings. This feature is particularly beneficial for photographers managing a large number of images.

For those looking for creative solutions, NX-D includes selective editing tools, which allow users to apply adjustments to specific areas of an image. This level of control offers the ability to enhance details selectively, ensuring that key elements stand out while maintaining the overall composition.

Furthermore, NX-D supports image comparison features, enabling photographers to evaluate multiple versions of their edits side by side. This is invaluable for those making subtle changes and wanting to see the impact of each adjustment.

Another essential technology integrated into NX-D is the Picture Control system, which allows photographers to set preferences for color tone, contrast, and overall image styling.
