Choose the 32-bit version if you wish to run CEP3 within Capture NX2. This prompt should occur as long as CEP 3 was previously installed.

You will need to use CEP 3.003 (available for registered users by logging in to your account at because earlier versions are NOT COMPATIBLE with CNX 2.3.Ģ) Windows users: You will be asked during installation if you want to install the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version of CNX 2.3.

There are currently no plans by Nik to update CEP3 to a 64-bit application, so what should you do? Fortunately, there are some workarounds:ġ) For best results, make sure you have already installed CEP3 for Capture NX2 using version 2.2.8, then run the Capture NX 2.3 updater. Nik Software’s Color Efex Pro 3 software will run in Capture NX 2.3, but only as a 32-bit application. In 32-bit mode, Capture NX 2.3 is still significantly faster than CNX 2.2.8 Performance differences between Capture NX 2.3 (32-bit) vs. Clearly, Nikon has improved the overall code in the CNX2 engine to make it run much, much faster than before. Otherwise, the overall speed differences between 32-bit mode and 64-bit mode are fairly small. If you like to open LOTS of files at the same time, this is a big help. In 64-bit mode, it used 3.42GB of memory to handle 15 NEFs opened simultaneously. In 32-bit mode, NX 2.3 can only access 1.37GB of RAM. The biggest difference, as you may expect, is in memory usage. However, even in 32-bit mode, CNX 2.3 is significantly faster than version 2.2.8. I compared Capture NX 2.3 against itself in both modes, and found modest improvements when running in 64-bit mode. This is critical for users who want to run Nik’s Color Efex Pro 3.0 within CNX2, as it is a 32-bit application. On the Mac, you can run CNX 2.3 as a 32-bit application if you so choose. Seeing as how NEF batching is twice as fast in NX 2.3 compared to before, I usually leave the thumbnail option on. However, keep in mind that if you don’t embed a preview JPEG, programs like Photo Mechanic will not have the ability to quickly preview your edited NEF. You’ll get save times that are about 20% faster by disabling the preview JPEGs. Rendering embedded, full-resolution preview JPEGs does slow down NEF save times. Times are in seconds, shorter bars are faster. 2.2.8 (relative performance longer bars are better) Absolute performance of Capture NX 2.3 (64-bit) vs. Click on any graph to view a larger version.

Loading 15 NEFs was a full 15 seconds faster in version 2.3. NX 2.3 rendered my file in 4 seconds, where 2.2.8 required over 30 seconds! That’s a speed boost of over 700%! TIFFs and JPEGs export three times faster compared to NX 2.2.8. The best overall speed boost was in rendering previously saved, but uncached files.

Memory usage when opening multiple filesĪcross the board, Capture NX 2.3 is significantly faster than version 2.2.8.

I also ran the same benchmarks running NX 2.3 in 32-bit mode on my Mac (more on this later).

I benchmarked Capture NX2 2.3 against its predecessor, version 2.2.8, on my 6-core Mac Pro running Mac OS Lion and 24GB RAM. See the full description of all new features and fixes at Nikon’s support page.

Fixed crashes when using very large screens and brush tools.

Option to enable/disable full-resolution embedded JPEG previews in NEFs (speeds up batch jobs).

“Astro Noise Reduction” mode, intended to help reduce color artifacts in long-exposures of night skies.

Better support for Nikon 1-series cameras and the Nikon Coolpix P7100.

This translates into massive speed improvements (see benchmarks, below).

64-bit native support on Mac and Windows operating systems.

I had the opportunity to run a series of performance benchmarks, and I’ll also address the new features and caveats of upgrading.

It also offers native Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) support. This is a major update to the software, as not only does it include numerous bug fixes, but it also offers native 64-bit processor support. Nikon has just announced the immediate release of Capture NX2 version 2.3.
