• Fixed the following issues:
- Applying a Picture Control saved using Record Adjustments to a cropped picture would reset the crop.
- Cropping a picture that had previously been straightened after being cropped with the “same as original” option selected for aspect ratio would reset the crop aspect ratio to Free Crop.
- Attempting to crop a picture previously cropped in ViewNX-i would cause NX Studio to crash.
• Added support for Windows 11.
• Fixed an issue that resulted in the value shown in parentheses following Original Value in the White Balance tool when a RAW picture was chosen not updating after a different RAW picture was selected.
