Notes

  • • When creating custom Picture Controls, use RAW images taken with your camera to preview the effect. The color reproduction in pictures shot using custom Picture Controls created with images from other cameras may differ from the preview.
  • • When importing custom tone curves created with existing applications, this software will load only the first 20 anchor points, starting from the white point. Any additional points will be lost.
  • • Picture Control Utility 2 cannot be launched while Picture Control Utility is running; exit Picture Control Utility before launching Picture Control Utility 2. Similarly, Picture Control Utility cannot be launched while Picture Control Utility 2 is running.
  • • Changes made with other Nikon software are not reflected in Picture Control Utility 2.
  • • Depending on the model of the camera you use and the model of camera with which the picture was taken, you may be unable to use NEF/NRW (RAW) files created with other cameras as previews, in which case the default image will be used instead.

For information on using this software, select Picture Control Utility 2 Help in the Picture Control Utility 2 Help menu.
