αρτι / νυν = now (adv.) / present (adj.)

Dear all,
It seems to me that "αρτι" and "νυν" are used quite interchangeably, meaning "now" as an adverb or "present" as an adjective. Is it true that they are very close synonyms and indistinguishable in the area in which their meanings overlap, or are there some subtle differences which I did not catch? I notice that LSJ says of "ἄρτι": "later, = νῦν".
Thanks!
David
