Nikon USA has published an update to its Capture NX software for Windows users.

Nikon Capture NX v2.2.4 includes a lengthy list of changes from the previous release, including compatibility with Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit variants, as well as Windows Vista 64-bit. There's also a variety of bug fixes related to printing, batch processing, image display, and more, including several that prevent sudden crashes or unexpected error messages.

Courtesy of Nikon, the full list of updates in Capture NX v2.2.4 is as follows:

  • Compatibility with 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Home Basic/ Home Premium/ Professional/ Enterprise/ Ultimate has been added. When run under 64-bit versions, the software operates as a 32-bit application.

  • Compatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows Vista Home Basic/ Home Premium/ Business/ Enterprise/ Ultimate (Service Pack 2) editions has been added. When run under 64-bit versions, the software operates as a 32-bit application.

  • Specifications have been modified so that when 25 Photos on Page, or a higher number of photos per page, is selected for Select Layout in the Print layout dialog, the Use Thumbnail Data (Draft Use Only) box is automatically checked.
    This resolves an issue that prevented printing when 25 Photos on Page, or a higher number of photos per page, was selected for Select Layout.

  • When a batch process was run with the Notify when completed box in the Processing Queue - Process Running dialog checked, a blank window was displayed. This issue has been resolved.

  • When a batch process was run for multiple images with the same shooting date and time, the processed images were not saved with the correct file names. This issue has been resolved.

  • An issue that caused batch processing to fail before completion when a batch process was run with certain settings has been resolved.

  • An issue that caused an error message to be displayed when multiple enhancements were applied to images has been resolved.

  • An issue that caused an error message to be displayed when attempting to open several images previously saved with Capture NX 2 has been resolved.

  • When the Camera & Lens Corrections checkbox was checked (Develop section of Edit List), enhancements were not applied to an image opened in the image window and displayed at 100%, and the enhanced image could not be saved. This issue has been resolved.

  • When image window display was maximized with Desktop selected for Window menu>Workspaces>Additional Screenfor the primary monitor on a dual monitor system, the image window disappeared. This issue has been resolved.

  • When the zoom tool was used to enlarge an image displayed with Full Screen or Presentation selected from the Viewmenu, the portion of the image clicked with the zoom tool was not displayed at the center of the window. This issue has been resolved.

  • An issue that prevented switching between “+” and “-“ operations when the ALT key was pressed while using the selection brush has been resolved.

  • An issue that caused folders in the Capture NX 2 Folders palette to be displayed in a different order than with Windows Explorer display has been resolved.

  • When the crop tool was used to select a crop and the ENTER key pressed to apply the crop, the cursor did not switch to a selection tool. This issue has been resolved.

  • When a number was entered after a decimal point for some enhancement items with text boxes for entering numerical values in the Edit List, the values could not be changed. This issue has been resolved.
