day trial, you will only be able to access the Purchase Product Key, Enter Product Key, and Exit buttons.

Select how the working color space is determined when a file is opened in Capture NX 2. You are
provided with two options to set the working color space:
Use the color space of the file to be opened as the working color space
When selected, Capture NX 2 will always use the profile embedded in the image that is opened as
the working color space.
If Capture NX 2 cannot determine the profile of the embedded image, the profile identified as the
default RGB color space will be used as the working space for that image.
Always use the default RGB color space as the working color space
When selected, Capture NX 2 will automatically convert the image from the color profile embedded
in the image to the color profile selected in the Default RGB Color Space pull-down menu.

Click on the Default RGB Color Space pull-down menu and select the desired color space to be
used either if Capture NX 2 cannot determine the embedded profile or if the Always use the
default RGB color space as the working color space option is selected.
