Barry Clemmons Photography Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I need to make a fresh install of Capture NX2 (yes, I still use it occasionally). Nikon pulled the free install off of its website last October. I thought I had a disk but can't find it. Anyone know a safe website where I can download a copy?

ShunCheung Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Not sure I still have those software CD around, but even though if I do, it must be ancient. Maybe better off using NX Studio now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I like NX studio. I haven't had the greatest experiences with manufactures SW in the past, but NX studio was a pleasant surprise (in combination with my Z camera). Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_halliwell Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Are there built in correction 'modules' in NX Studio? or are they in-camera for JPEGs and a kind of correction sidecar for RAW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_smith3 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Barry, I still have Capture NX2 on my windows 10 computers. I last downloaded it in 2019. File size of the download is about 106,xxx KB. I suggest you try and find a friend that has a computer that is "old" enough to maybe have it and get a copy from him. It might work on your computer. My guess is that you still need the NX2 License number to get it to work after you reinstall it. On a windows pc it is in the Downloads file folder. I am not sure if Picture Controls are what Mike means by built in correction modules. I would download the NX Studio User Manual and check to see if it will help answer Mike's question. For NEF (RAW) files, I would start with Nef (Raw) Processing in the Manual and see what options they allow you to set. They might be limited to just basic things like Color Space. I believe Picture Controls can be set only for RAW files. Whether they can be applied as a batch to all files is something I am not sure of. There is a Picture Control Parameters setting you can click on. That may allow you to have the same set of Picture Controls applied to all RAW files in the file folder.

Barry Clemmons Photography Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Thanks everyone. I have NX Studio installed and will just create the several batch files on it. I only use NX2 for a couple of items in my workflow, and really not that often. I also used it for quick print jobs. Like everything else in life, I guess it is time to move on.

joseph_smith3 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Barry and others, I use NX2 for resizing images for printing too. And I think its repair tool, for cloning out or removing stuff works better than the equivalent tool in other software programs, including Nikon NX Studio.
