Nikon Capture NX2 Now 64-Bit and about 200 Times Faster (for me)

With 7 files open, it’s a memory pig. But so what? Memory prices have plummeted.

Nikon Capture NX2 v2.3.0 is now 64-bit

Capture NX2 has been unusable or me for the past several years.

I gave up on it more than two years ago due to its very serious bugs, but it was what I called “slow mode” that made it unusable: previewing a single file would take several minutes (not a typo).

Most readers simply could not relate, could literally not believe it, could not break out of the cognitive commitment of thinking that I was just talking about a little slowness.

It was minutes per file, not a few seconds. And this was true even on my 12-core 3.33 GHz Mac Pro, which might have been part of the issue (threading bugs tend to be more of a problem with more cores). I received so many friendly-helpful (but silly and useless and irrelevant) suggestions that were based on the inability to accept at face value as what I had clearly stated as the problem: minutes-long delays for a single file. Caused by thread-lock problems that I reported to Nikon/Nik years ago.

The Nikon Capture NX2 2.3.0 64-bit version appears to have fixed “slow mode”. Perhaps now I can use NX2 as a tool once again, since files that took 2-3 minutes to preview now take about 1/2 second or less. Hence it’s about 200 times faster for me.

BUT (and this is a big “but”), I’ll believe after I use it for a while without further issues.

Download Nikon Capture NX2 2.3.0 at NikonUSA.com. Have your serial number handy, because although the installer recognizes a prior install, it does not pull that into the install, so you have to type it in manually, digit by digit.
