Nikon Capture NX 2 takes a major step forward over version 1.x, offering a host of improvements.

General improvements include:

• Workspaces — Capture NX 1.x was awful with more than one monitor; NX 2 not only seems to understand multiple monitors but allows the creation of user workspaces, in addition to four “canned” workspaces that exist by default: Browser, Metadata, Multi-purpose and Edit. The user can swap between these workspaces quickly.
• Palette layout — the settings are now directly visible in NX2, making it much easier to see overall options for multiple adjustment palettes.
• Improved file browser. Much improved over version 1.x, the browser is now a usable tool in NX2, though its behavior is not entirely consistent with Nikon View, which can be confusing at times (check which program you’re using!).
• Improved speed: this is a subjective assessment, speed does seem faster than with Capture NX 1.x on Mac OS X.
