Capture NX is an image editing application developed by Nik Software in partnership with Nikon[3] for macOS and Microsoft Windows.
In September 2012, Google acquired Nik Software.[4] Capture NX remained branded as a Nikon product.[5]
In July 2014, Nikon released Capture NX-D to succeed Capture NX 2. As such, the Nikon D810 is the first camera[6] to support only Capture NX-D. Capture NX-D was developed based on SILKYPIX Developer Studio[7] and does not contain the U-Point technology from Nik Software.
On June 6, 2022, Nikon announced that Capture NX 2 and Capture NX-D would be discontinued and replaced by NX Studio.[8][9] Download links for both programs were removed on June 30, 2022.
