New York, NY - October 18, 2007 (PhotoPlus Expo Booth #760) - Nik Software Inc. today announced a new powerful photo editing software bundle designed specifically for professional and advanced amateur photographers. Available directly from Nik Software (www.niksoftware.com), the revolutionary Capture NX photo editing software from Nikon Corporation and the award-winning Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 digital photographic filters for Capture NX can be purchased separately for $329.95 or together for a limited time at a $30 discount.

"Digital cameras have made photography easier, however imaging software simply has not kept pace," said Michael J. Slater, president and CEO of Nik Software, Inc. "Professional photographers and advanced amateurs have recognized Nik Color Efex Pro as a big part of their photographic workflow because of its simplicity and power. Bringing Color Efex Pro 2.0 and Capture NX together offers photographers an easy to use and complete photo editing solution," Slater added.

Capture NX offers a revolutionary new approach to photo editing which results in faster and easier image enhancements. Featuring Nik Software's patented U Point® technology (www.upoint.com), Capture NX provides direct control over any region in a digital image and enables selective editing or enhancements without complicated layer masking techniques. Capture NX works with TIFF and JPG files and provides superior processing of Nikon's RAW format. Image edits are fully non-destructive and can be modified at any time and in any order, even after the file has been closed and reopened. File sizes do not substantially increase no matter how many edits are added to the original image.

Nik Software's Color Efex Pro 2.0 for Capture NX includes 75 award-winning filters that offer a tremendous range of traditional and stylistic photo enhancements. A complete filter list may be found at: www.niksoftware.com/cepnxfilters.
