Nikon has just released an update to their NX Studio software for both macOS and Windows. The changes from the prior version (1.1.2) to the new version (1.2.0) include the following (from Nikon’s website):

• Added support for Z 9 firmware version 2.00.

• Added support for NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S lenses.

• Added support for NEV video. Note, however, that thumbnail display, preview, and playback are not supported.

• Added support for ProRes RAW video. Note, however, that thumbnail display, preview, and playback are not supported.

• Added support for the display of application names in Simplified Chinese.

• Information on color matching profiles is now shown in the status bar at the bottom of the display.

• A Current image size item has been added to the crop tool, which can be found in the Adjust Composition category of the Adjust palette.

• A Resolution item has been added to the Export dialog, giving the resolution in dots per inch (dpi).

• The choice of units for Change image size in the Export dialog now includes inch and cm.

• Export of pictures at sizes larger than their original dimensions is now supported via Change image size in the Export dialog.

• Users can now choose the format (16-bit or 8-bit TIFF, JPEG, or the original format) for pictures opened in other applications using Open with.

• When using the recovery tool in the installer dialog, users can now opt to delete only the cache files by selecting Keep Existing Settings.

• The map and YouTube upload features have been removed.

• Fixed the following issues:

• - Applying a Picture Control saved using Record Adjustments to a cropped picture would reset the crop.

• - Cropping a picture that had previously been straightened after being cropped with the “same as original” option selected for aspect ratio would reset the crop aspect ratio to Free Crop.

• - Attempting to crop a picture previously cropped in ViewNX-i would cause NX Studio to crash.

• Added support for Windows 11.

• Fixed an issue that resulted in the value shown in parentheses following Original Value in the White Balance tool when a RAW picture was chosen not updating after a different RAW picture was selected.
