Today, Nikon launched the latest version of NX Studio with support for the new Nikon Zf, pixel shift shooting, and bug fixes. The changes are as follows for version 1.5.0:
• Added support for photos taken and videos recorded by the Z f.
• Series of pictures taken using pixel shift shooting on the Z f can now be merged on NX Studio. Note: Merged pixel shift files will have an extension “*.NEFX” when saved.
Added [Rich Tone Portrait], [Deep Tone Monochrome], and [Flat Monochrome] picture controls.
Custom Picture Controls can now be created, imported, and exported, applying the function of the Picture Control Utility 2.
Fixed the following issues:
- The effect of D-Lighting HS would be reduced with images exported after adjustment was made with [D-Lighting HS].
- If a RAW picture was saved after XMP/IPTC presets including labels and ratings were added and auto white balance adjustment was made, the adjustment made was not applied.
- When transferring a series of pictures shot using burst photography using Nikon Transfer 2 via a card reader, not all pictures would not be transferred.
- The audio on videos output using the Movie Editor function would stop during playback.
- If texts were added to photos and video clips to make a video using the Movie Editor function, the preview on the [Text Settings] dialog would be slow due to overloading.
- If the focus point on the bottom toolbar was selected, the image would not show correctly in the image viewer with a state of “Processing”.
NX Studio software offers a full-fledged suite of intuitive tools for viewing, processing, and editing photos and videos. It combines the photo-and-video-viewing features of ViewNX-i with the photo-processing and retouch tools of Capture NX-D in a single, comprehensive workflow. Not only can it be used to process RAW pictures, but its editing tools—including tone curves and brightness and contrast adjustment—can also be applied to JPEG/TIFF images. It also offers a variety of features for such tasks as editing XMP/IPTC data, managing presets, and uploading pictures to the Web.

Nikon Studio NX latest version
I just spent a year away from all Adobe products and used Capture One exclusively during all of 2024 for all commercial assignments and personal content. I actually cancelled my Adobe Photographers subscription at the end of 2023 to ensure I would not be tempted to go to the dark side during my testing period. Here is what I found after using Capture One for a full calendar year.
