Nikon NX2 user manual Version

Version

The Version menu can now be found at the top of the Edit List palette, providing you with direct control of this powerful feature. Versions represent an advanced way of working with and maintaining a number of different versions of the same image within one image file. Two different types of versions are available, and access to these versions is provided within this menu.

The current version is displayed within the Version menu, click on the menu to access one of the other versions.

The Version menu provides you with the following options:

Original

The Original version is always present within the Version menu and provides you with a quick way of reverting the image to its original state, prior to any changes that were made within Capture NX 2. With NEF RAW files, the original version will revert all settings to the state as set by the camera at the time of capture.

Last Saved

The Last Saved version becomes available within the Version menu for NEF files as soon as the image is saved. This version provides you with the ability to revert the Edit List to its state at the point of the last

save.

(Current)

The (Current) version is temporarily available whenever changes have been made to an image and the Version menu is switched to another version. This version enables you to toggle quickly from one of the

available versions back to the current state to review the differences made between that version and the current state.

New Version…

To create a custom version, select the New Version… option from the Version menu. After selecting New Version…, enter a name for the new version and click OK. An entry will be added to the Version menu with that

name containing the state of the Edit List palette at the

time that the version was created. Due to the non- destructive nature of Capture NX 2, you are able to create

virtually unlimited number of versions, switch from one version to the next, and save those versions for future use, all without altering the original image information.

Edit Versions

You can also edit the custom versions that were added, providing you with the ability to rename or delete the custom versions listed in the Version menu. Select the Edit Versions option from the Version menu, highlight the version you would like to alter, and then select either the Rename or Delete button.
