March 8, 2010, 7:00-9:00 pm: Using Nikon’s Capture NX2 in Your Workflow

Nikon's Capture NX2 is a full featured, non-destructive photo editing program and a RAW convertor for Nikon NEF files, although users who work with TIFF or JPEG images can also benefit.

What separates this program from the many other editing packages is the inclusion of U-point technology ... an amazing bit of software that allows for precision selection and application of enhancements WITHOUT complicated selections or layer masks.
