Nikon has launched NX Studio, a free photo and video editing software that has many features found in Lightroom and Capture One but is tailored specifically to Nikon cameras. Nikon says the NX Studio has inherited one of the most popular features from Capture NX-D and Capture NX 2—Color Control Points, which makes it easy to apply image processing only to colors in a selected range in an image. Quickly and easily adjust brightness, saturation, hue, or contrast only to the chosen radius and to objects of similar color in the selected area.
