NX Studio software offers a full-fledged suite of intuitive tools for viewing, processing, and editing photos and videos. It combines the photo-and-video-viewing features of ViewNX-i with the photo-processing and retouch tools of Capture NX-D in a single, comprehensive workflow.

Not only can it be used to process RAW pictures, but its editing tools—including tone curves and brightness and contrast adjustment—can also be applied to JPEG/TIFF images. It also offers a variety of features for such tasks as editing XMP/IPTC data, managing presets, viewing maps that show shooting locations based on location data embedded in pictures, and uploading pictures to the Web.

Changes:

- Added support for the Z 8.
- Added support for NEF (HLG) and HEIF photos created on a camera.
- Added [Skin softening] and [Portrait impression balance] tools under [Portrait Enhancements] in the [Adjustments] tab; in addition, values for these settings can now be viewed under [File & Camera Information] in the [Info] tab.
- Added [HEIF (HLG)] and [HEIF (PQ)] options for [Export as].
- Entries for [Categories] in the [XMP/IPTC] tab can now be up to 256 characters long.
- Made the point icons for [Color Control Point] easier to click.

Fixed the following issues:

- Errors would sometimes occur when pictures were printed with [Outside Bottom Right] selected for [User Comment] > [Position].
- NEF (RAW) pictures exported from ViewNX 2 after editing would sometimes be distorted.
- Profiles for pictures exported in NEF (RAW) format would sometimes not contain the expected information.
- Using keyboard controls to label pictures after zooming in would prevent the arrow keys being used for selecting pictures.
- Selecting [Delete original files after transfer] in Nikon Transfer 2 would sometimes result in transfer being interrupted.

About Camera Adapter Updates:

Updating to a different firmware version than the one already installed on the adapter can bring various changes such as improved performance and stability, add new features or enhance existing ones, but also various fixes for more or less recurrent issues.

Given the large variety of camera adapters and numerous methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you consider applying the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

If you try to perform the update without knowing all the steps, you risk ending up with a broken device. However, what every upgrade needs is a compatible firmware to be transferred to the adapter (or to the camera) via either a USB cable or a suitable memory card.

That being said, if you consider applying this release and have made sure you're properly informed on the process of performing the upgrade successfully, hit the download button, and update your camera adapter.
