In food shooting, it is extremely difficult to reproduce desired color and brightness because
of lighting factors, and it also takes time. Capture NX 2 post-processing software enables
adjustment of an image taken with roughly set illumination, remarkably improving shooting
efficiency. Because operation is not complicated and the finished image can be accurately
presented at the shooting site, it is easy to get the approval of the client or art director.
The above image was processed using Color Control Points to produce the intended color
and brightness in a short time.
Capture NX 2 realizes illumination impossible with actual settings simply and quickly on a
processed image.
Using Color Control Points, the above image achieves a fantastic finish as if illumination was
incorporated inside an apple, which would be almost impossible in reality.
