What is Kuuvik Capture? It’s a feature-rich tethering application for Mac OS X. It has all the remote shooting functionality you find in other similar software, but it offers much more than simple live view. Kuuvik Capture offers some functionality that can make a difference in your workflow:

• easy and intuitive interface
• advanced live view
• split view of the live view image with simultaneous evaluation of focus and depth of field
• parametric sharpening along with focus peaking overlay – in real time and applied to the camera’s live view stream
• unique raw-image-based histogram completed with over and underexposure warning
• ability to program your camera’s custom white balance
• exposure sequence automation (HDR, time-lapse)
• and much more…

Currently, Kuuvik Capture is available at an introductory price, so you get an even better bargain when applying the coupon code (see below how to).
