What Capture NX-D Can Do for You

Fine-Tuning Pictures in Capture NX-D

Capture NX-D stores image adjustments in a separate “sidecar” file that is up- dated automatically as settings are changed.

Because changes to settings are stored separately from the original image data, the original picture can be restored at any time with no drop in quality.

When files are converted to JPEG or TIFF, the changes are applied to the image as it is saved to create a new, modified image data file.

AImage Adjustments

Image adjustments are stored in a “NKSC_PARAM” folder in the same folder as the original image. All changes will be lost if this folder or the image adjustment file is deleted; similarly, because the image and the image adjustment file are linked via the file name, changes will be lost or applied to another image if the image adjustment file is renamed.
