Nikon launches new software applications
13 Sep 2007
Nikon has announced the release of two new software applications, Nikon Transfer and ViewNX, designed to make editing photographs easier.
Users of the Nikon Transfer software will be able to download images from their camera to two places at once and offers features intended to make cataloguing images easier, such as embedding keywords into the file.
According to Nikon, the new View NX software will “ensure quick access to images for instant viewing”, speed up the process of correcting exposure and white balance errors to a large number of files and make it possible to convert images to JPEG or TIF files easily.
The application will be particularly useful for those planning to buy the new Nikon D3 and D300, as it will allow them to create their own custom picture controls on their computer and then upload it to the camera.
Nikon fans itching to try out the new feature will have to wait until November for both models to make their debut. For now, the new software can be accessed in the customer services section of the Nikon website, restricted to camera owners who have registered their digital product and have an account with the European support centre.
