Capture NX 2
Capture NX 2 is a photo editing and management application from Nikon designed for processing and organizing RAW and JPEG images, particularly from Nikon cameras. The app offered tools for RAW conversion, color correction, noise reduction, and non-destructive editing workflows, along with a library interface for managing photos. It was aimed at photography enthusiasts and professionals who preferred a Nikon-native editing environment. The app has been discontinued by Nikon and is no longer supported.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCapture NX 2 has been discontinued by Nikon and is no longer actively supported. The search results indicate the app was last updated some years ago and there is no native Apple Silicon build available. While the Intel build may still run under Rosetta 2 today, Apple is removing Rosetta from macOS 28 (September 2028), so Capture NX 2 will stop launching entirely on that date — you have approximately two years to transition. For RAW processing and photo editing, consider Nikon's own successor software Nikon ViewNX-i (free, focused on management) combined with Capture One Express for Nikon (free tier available, native Apple Silicon), Adobe Lightroom Classic (professional standard, native build available), or DxO PhotoLab (specialized RAW processing, native Apple Silicon support). Affinity Photo is another paid option with full native support. If you have a large library of Capture NX 2 edits, check whether the third-party tools you choose can import or reference your existing catalogs before fully committing to a replacement.
