Do you want to edit Nikon RAW photos and keep image browsing in the same workflow? NX Studio brings folder browsing, photo organization, and image adjustments together, with controls for Nikon camera files and support for JPEG and TIFF.
Browse and sort Nikon images
Move through image folders using thumbnail views, metadata panels, side-by-side comparisons, or full-screen previews. NX Studio also lets you rotate, label, and rate individual photos or groups, show or hide image information and histograms, and display focus points on pictures taken with Nikon cameras.
- View RAW and JPEG versions together
- Edit XMP/IPTC metadata or apply built-in presets
Adjust Nikon RAW photos
For Nikon NEF and NRW files, adjust Picture Control, white balance, exposure, Active D-Lighting, and noise reduction. The editing tools also cover cropping, straightening, sharpening, color adjustments, and corrections. JPEG and TIFF images are supported too.
Use Color Control Points to change brightness, saturation, hue, or contrast for a selected color range in a chosen area. The LCH controls let you refine luminosity, chroma, and hue channels across part or all of an image.
Choose how edits are saved
Save adjustment data in a sidecar file to keep the original RAW data intact, or write the final editing data directly into the NEF or NRW file. Menu terms follow Nikon camera terminology, and palettes can be arranged into a custom workspace.
Trim clips and make slideshows
The video editor can remove unwanted sections, add background music, and combine multiple clips into one video. It can also create slideshows that mix still photos and video. NX Studio connects with Nikon tools such as Picture Control Utility 2 and Camera Control Pro 2, and can upload images to Nikon Image Space.
