About This App

Picture Control Utility 2 is Nikon's desktop software for managing and editing color tone curves, saturation, contrast, and other image processing parameters on Nikon digital cameras and in raw image files. It allows photographers to create, customize, and apply picture control styles to their shots, both in-camera during shooting and in post-processing on the computer. The utility is essential for Nikon shooters who want fine-grained control over color science and tonal rendering without switching to third-party editors, and it integrates tightly with Nikon's ecosystem of capture and processing tools.
