Nikon Capture NX-D for Mac is a powerful photo editor that can help Nikon camera users to take full control over their RAW image files and prepare them for integration in your photo library, get them ready for further image editing, or even create a finished image that is ready for work use or sharing on the internet.

Note: Nikon announced the NX Studio software as a way for Nikon shooters to view, process, and edit still images and video. The free software merged the ViewNX-I and Capture NX-D applications into a single solution.

This comprehensive photo editing solution was developed directly by the Nikon Corporation, with the goal of providing the users of their high-quality cameras with reliable software support for manipulating RAW images that were pulled directly from the camera’s storage.

The application was built to serve partly as a library manager, with built-in tools for streamlined photo listing and viewing, and also as a comprehensive editor that can adjust many aspects of your captured RAW photos. To make this application even more usable for enthusiast and professional users, all editing changes and adjustments made from inside Nikon Capture NX-D application will not impact the original RAW file, enabling users to always retain access to the source file.  

If you are an owner of a powerful Nikon camera, you owe it to yourself to download this official free application and take full control over your photos, adjust them until they become perfect, and export them in the desired format so that they can be used in your home, exciting school projects, large-scale work tasks, and of course publishing on the internet. To make this app usable to everyone, it also supports a comprehensive batch converter and processing tool that can quickly prepare your entire library of photos ready for use in any image format you desire.

Installation and Use

Since Capture NX-D for macOS is a fully featured photo editor intended to be used by seasoned professionals, it comes in a large installation archive that is over 300 MB in size and requires a minimum of 800 MB of free space for installation to be successful. Thankfully, the installation procedure for it is fairly standard, requiring the users to only follow on-screen instructions and choose storage location where they want this app to be transferred. The app features a full uninstaller, enabling you to easily remove it from your Mac whenever you want.

The supported list of digital cameras that this app can connect to is (depending on the region): Z 7, Z 6, D1 to D850, D3500, from V1 and J1 to J5, COOLPIX E100 and newer, COOLPIX W150, The KeyMission 360, KeyMission 170, and KeyMission 80.

The app interface is standard for any modern photo editing app. On the right there are thumbnail preview and Folder view tabs, the center is dedicated to a loaded photo, and on the right are the tabs for image manipulation and editing. After loading the image, the editor will immediately show you a histogram of the picture and from there you can access some of the numerous editing tools including Exposure Compensation, White Balance, Picture Control, Adjustments, Tone and many others.
