ViewNX-i is the successor application to the ViewNX 2 image-browsing and editing software Nikon has offered to date. It inherits the user-friendly interface that was a primary feature of ViewNX 2, while offering simpler operation as an application specialized for image browsing with features such as tabs that make it easy to switch between workspaces, and the addition of an Output Toolbar that intuitively displays convenient functions.
In addition, full collaboration with Capture NX-D, Nikon’s photofinishing software, means that all of the advanced adjustment functions available with that application can be used to develop RAW images and edit still images.

What’s more, the ViewNX-Movie Editor movie-editing software is bundled with ViewNX-i, providing users with the ability to easily create and edit movies. Collaboration between ViewNX-Movie Editor and ViewNX-i allows users to convert movies and to create new movies by combining multiple still images and movies. This allows not only those skilled at movie processing and editing, but those who are completely new to movie editing, to easily enjoy working with movies using easy-to-understand operations.

Specialized for image browsing, and offering full collaboration with other Nikon software applications, ViewNX-i serves as the launch pad for RAW development and still-image adjustment using Capture NX-D, and movie editing using ViewNX-Movie Editor. Enhanced mutual collaboration between these applications greatly expands the ways in which users enjoy their photos and movies after they are recorded.
