Features:

• Color Control Points:
  Enhancements for hue, brightness and saturation are as simple as placing a Color
  Control Point on your image, then adjusting the length of the sliders. For example,
  Color Control Points are remarkably convenient for changing the color of flowers for
  better effect against green surrounding foliage. Take a dull gray sky and add blue to
  change the mood of a captured scene.
  
  
• NEW! Selection Control Points:
  Now you can selectively edit photographs without the need to manually outline or
  mask the area for editing. Simply place a Selection Control Point anywhere on the
  photograph then choose from almost any adjustment such as D-Lighting, Unsharp
  Mask or Noise Reduction, while limiting the ôreachö of that adjustment to just the
  selected area.
  
  
• NEW! Auto-Retouch Brush:
  Capture NX 2 adds an automatic retouch tool to its image editing toolbox allowing
  users to seamlessly remove blemishes, dust and other distracting elements from
  photographs while maintaining the integrity of the image.
  
  
• NEW! Shadow/Highlight Adjustment:
  With just a simple slider adjustment you can easily open up shadows or recover
  blown-out highlights. Highlight recovery is most effective for RAW (NEF) files
  however it will work with JPEG and TIFF files as well.
  
  
• Redesigned Interface includes:

  • Customized Workspaces
  • Improved Toolbar function and layout
  • Improved Edit List functionality
  • Newly designed image browser featuring a Favorites Folder
  • Improved Image Resolution adjustments

  or layer masks. Designed to closely match the way photographers work with their
  images, Capture NX 2 is easy to learn and creates the highest quality results.
