Selective Functionality in Color Efex Pro 3.0 for Capture NX 2

Selection Control PointsSelection Control Point

In Capture NX 2, Color Efex Pro 3.0 works intuitively with U Point powered Control Points that are part of the primary feature set. The U Point powered Selection Control Points let you identify and isolate objects within a photograph by placing a Control Point on the object or area to be affected. By analyzing the color, tonality, detail, and location, the Control Point automatically determines where and how to apply certain effects, based on your needs. Control Points allow for very powerful and precise selective application of the Color Efex Pro 3.0 filter effects without having to make complicated masks or selections.

After choosing a desired filter from the Filters menu and applying the enhancement with a Selection Control Point, a new step is created in the Capture NX 2 "Edit List." This provides controls for further modifying your filter effect non-destructively.

In Capture NX 2 you can also apply filter enhancements selectively by using the Selection Brush tool. Filters may also be applied using a Wacom® pen tablet, which provides for the ultimate in pressure sensitive control.

Simply choose a desired filter from the Filters menu and the filter will be applied globally. Then select the Selection Brush tool to paint in or erase the filter’s effect from your image. These different methods are designed to enable you to work in a selective style that best suits your workflow.
