Capture NX is a photo editing computer program developed by Nik Software in partnership with Nikon[1] for macOS and Microsoft Windows.
In September 2012, Google acquired Nik Software,[2] but Capture NX has remained a Nikon software and is advertised as a Nikon product.[3]
In July 2014, Nikon released a new software Capture NX-D to replace Capture NX 2. As such, Nikon D810 is the first camera[4] to support only Capture NX-D. Capture NX-D was developed based on SILKYPIX Developer Studio[5] and does not contain the U-Point technology from Nik Software. Since February 2020, the current release of the software does not install on Windows 7 anymore.[citation needed]
On June 6, 2022, Nikon announced that Capture NX 2 and Capture NX-D will be discontinued and replaced by NX Studio.[6][7] Download links for both programs were removed on June 30, 2022.
