Nikon Capture 4.4 is out

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

I was browsing through DPReview.com and i read that - finally - Nikon has released a new version of Nikon Capture (NC) that fixes the ‘recover highlight’ issue.

Older versions of Nikon Capture just made blown-out parts a little less white, but still blown-out… no details were recovered, even if they  were present in the RAW data (now: recovering detail in highlights that is NOT present in the RAW data! That would be magic!!)

You can see a discussion over here:

I’m beginning to use Photoshop (PS) less and less and NC more and more. That’s a good thing; it speeds up my workflow.

I have still one question left: There is a new option "B&W" in the ‘Color Mode’ section of the ‘Advanced Raw’ tool-pallete. What is the difference between this option and the black&white options that were already there? Anybody knows…?
