Nikon UK announces ViewNX 2, a comprehensive new version of its popular
bundled software package that enables users to easily import, browse, edit and
share images and D-movies.
Building upon the successful ViewNX software, ViewNX 2 is a feature-packed,
user-friendly suite supplied with Nikon digital cameras and available for
download. The software now offers a range of tools dedicated to editing D-movie
files captured by today’s DSLR and compact cameras.
In addition to basic data importing and browsing, ViewNX 2 incorporates various
frequently used adjust menus and tools such as resize, brightness control, crop
and straighten, as well as sophisticated RAW processing functions.
Zurab Kiknadze, Product Manager Lenses, Accessories & Software, comments:
“For many, ViewNX is the core software application to import and organise
images. View NX 2 makes everything easier and smoother, and features a
wealth of added benefits for D-movie shooters too”.
Present movies in style
ViewNX 2 includes several simple and intuitive editing tools which enable
users to create great looking movies. The software allows you to trim and
then merge clips together, apply a variety of attractive transition effects
with the addition of still images and soundtracks of music to generate
stylish and animated films to share with family and friends.
Refined, intuitive User Interface
The UI has been redesigned for maximum efficiency. Smooth graphics and an
intuitive layout make it even simpler to access and use its wide range of
creative tools. Different display options have been added to perfectly suit
the task at hand; in addition to the ‘Browser’ and ‘Edit’ options, ‘GeoTag’
allows users to view images on a map relating to where the images were
taken. And to make viewing and editing even easier on the eye, the
background colour can be altered according to the brightness of the images.
Take Control
ViewNX 2 features many image-editing options, such as Crop, Straighten, Auto
Red-Eye Reduction and Auto Lateral Color Aberration, along with crucial
features including file-format conversion and a wide range of labeling and
rating options, making it easy to navigate and sort through countless
images. Integrated RAW image processing allows further control over the
final output with numerous useful editing functions, such as white balance,
exposure compensation, contrast, brightness, sharpness and many more. The
software also increases the printing choices available, with new options
such as background colour selection and metadata inclusion
Sharing made simple
ViewNX 2 is closely integrated with my Picturetown, Nikon’s popular online
digital image storage and sharing service. Images can be easily uploaded to
the service with a simple drag/drop operation, and users can browse my
Picturetown images online as well as directly in ViewNX 2.
With the addition of many new features based upon the feedback of Nikon’s
users worldwide, ViewNX 2 takes Nikon’s already impressive free software
package to the next level and empowers creative image makers of all levels
to get the very best from their shooting.
